Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1936".
The Full Moon this days is the Worm of March 2037.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 459 of Meeus index or 1412 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 42 minutes. It is 2 hours and 11 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 5 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠173.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠197.5°.
Moon is at perigee at 19:48. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 15 February 2037 at 23:45 in ♓ Pisces. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next apogee on 15 March 2037 at 01:18 in ♓ Pisces.
This perigee Moon is 356 710 km (221 649 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2037. It is 5 798 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 285 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
1 day after ascending node on 27 February 2037 at 18:35 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 12 March 2037 at 19:15 in ♒ Aquarius.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
3 days since the previous standstill on 25 February 2037 at 22:25 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.631°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.688° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 March 2037 at 14:37 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
