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 557 / 1510
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 557 of Meeus index or 1510 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.81 days
Length of current 557 lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2045. It is 2 hours and 2 minutes longer than next lunation 558 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 42 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 21 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠182.1°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠182.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠207.6°. 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 in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 08:43, this is 14 days after last apogee on 17 January 2045 at 22:35 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 14 February 2045 at 02:57 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 357 106 km
This perigee Moon is 357 106 km (221 895 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 402 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 250 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
11 days after its ascending node on 21 January 2045 at 00:16 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 3 February 2045 at 02:18 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
11 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days after previous North standstill on 29 January 2045 at 16:53 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.156°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.184° in the next southern standstill on 11 February 2045 at 15:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
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.
