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
Length of current 460 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes. It is 2 hours and 44 minutes longer than next lunation 461 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 47 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠197.5°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠197.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠225.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 11 April 2037 at 13:04 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 12 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 27 April 2037 at 09:43 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 402 176 km
Moon is 402 176 km (249 901 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 12 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 363 607 km (225 935 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after its descending node on 8 April 2037 at 21:20 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 23 April 2037 at 03:14 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
18 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days after previous South standstill on 6 April 2037 at 21:45 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.915°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠21.064° in the next northern standstill on 21 April 2037 at 11:52 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 15 April 2037 at 16:08 in ♈ Aries, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
