Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1771" and ∠1943".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2037 after 15 days on 2 March 2037 at 00:28.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 15 February 2037 at 04:54
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 23 February 2037 at 06:41
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 2 March 2037 at 00:28
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 8 March 2037 at 19:25
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 458 / 1411
At 09:34 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 458 of Meeus index or 1411 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.81 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 20 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2037. It is 38 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 36 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 27 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠146.7°
The true anomaly is ∠146.7°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠173.2°.
Moon before perigee
13 days after point of perigee on 1 February 2037 at 06:58 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 February 2037 at 23:45 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 404 672 km
The Moon is 404 672 km (251 452 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 539 km (252 612 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 13 February 2037 at 14:49 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 27 February 2037 at 18:35 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 11 February 2037 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.580°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.631° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 February 2037 at 22:25 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
