Spring tide
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.
Lunation 484 / 1437
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 484 of Meeus index or 1437 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.61 days
Length of current 484 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 42 minutes. It is 53 minutes shorter than next lunation 485 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 5 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠83.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠83.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠120.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
8 days after point of apogee on 1 March 2039 at 22:42 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 3 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 13 March 2039 at 18:38 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 376 450 km
Moon is 376 450 km (233 915 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 3 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 366 000 km (227 422 mi).
Moon after ascending node
6 days after its ascending node on 4 March 2039 at 09:49 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 17 March 2039 at 10:05 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
6 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
4 days after previous North standstill on 5 March 2039 at 12:11 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠24.115°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.232° in the next southern standstill on 18 March 2039 at 11:25 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
