Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1947".
Snow Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2041 after 14 days on 16 February 2041 at 02:21.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 7 February 2041 at 23:40
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 16 February 2041 at 02:21
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 24 February 2041 at 00:29

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 508 / 1461
At 05:43 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 508 of Meeus index or 1461 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 56 minutes. It is 6 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 48 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 21 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠358.5°
The true anomaly is ∠358.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠14°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 07:46. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 18 January 2041 at 23:16 in ♌ Leo. 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 14 February 2041 at 23:03 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 356 610 km
This perigee Moon is 356 610 km (221 587 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2041. It is 5 898 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 185 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 26 January 2041 at 15:09 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 February 2041 at 00:39 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
20 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 29 January 2041 at 22:24 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.843°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.907° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 February 2041 at 21:04 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
