Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 22 December 2037 at 13:38.
Cold Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2038 after 24 days on 21 January 2038 at 04:00.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1959"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1959" and ∠1951".
Lunation 469 / 1422
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 469 of Meeus index or 1422 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 3 minutes and it is 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 1 hour and 19 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 44 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠48°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠48° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠79.2°.
Moon before perigee
11 days since point of apogee on 15 December 2037 at 16:34 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 December 2037 at 18:48 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 365 958 km(227 396 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 370 285 km(230 084 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 23 December 2037 at 22:59 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 January 2038 at 21:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 23 December 2037 at 09:44 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.193° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.189° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 January 2038 at 08:13 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 9 days on 5 January 2038 at 13:41 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
