Moon phase and lunation details
7 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 7 days on 7 April 2037 at 11:25.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♈ Aries
Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1782"
Lunar disc appears visually 7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1782" and ∠1912".
Pink Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2037 after 15 days on 29 April 2037 at 18:54.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 15 April 2037 at 16:08
- First Quarter in Leo ♌ on 23 April 2037 at 03:11
- Full Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 29 April 2037 at 18:54

Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 460 / 1413
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 460 of Meeus index or 1413 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.69 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes. It is 2 hours and 44 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 47 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠197.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠197.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠225.1°.
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 11 April 2037 at 13:04 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 27 April 2037 at 09:43 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 402 176 km
The Moon is 402 176 km (249 901 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 363 607 km (225 935 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 8 April 2037 at 21:20 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 23 April 2037 at 03:14 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
18 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 before northern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 6 April 2037 at 21:45 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.915°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.064° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 April 2037 at 11:52 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 15 April 2037 at 16:08 in ♈ Aries the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
