Moon phase and lunation details

4 days after New Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 1 February 2041 at 05:43.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.

Moon in ♈ Aries

Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1923"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1923" and ∠1946".

Snow Moon after 10 days

Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2041 after 10 days on 16 February 2041 at 02:21.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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 508 / 1461

The Moon is 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is 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°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠358.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠14°.

Moon after perigee

4 days after point of perigee on 1 February 2041 at 07:46 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 February 2041 at 23:03 in ♌ Leo.

Distance to Moon 372 807 km

The Moon is 372 807 km (231 652 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 498 km (252 586 mi).

Moon before ascending node

9 days after descending node on 26 January 2041 at 15:09 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 February 2041 at 00:39 in ♉ Taurus.

Draconic month

24 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 before northern standstill

6 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 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.907° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 February 2041 at 21:04 in ♋ Cancer.

Syzygy in 10 days

In 10 days on 16 February 2041 at 02:21 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
