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 15 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
The length of the 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 the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 42 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 21 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠182.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠182.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠207.6°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 1 February 2045 at 08:43 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 February 2045 at 02:57 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 364 961 km
The Moon is 364 961 km (226 776 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 254 km (252 435 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 21 January 2045 at 00:16 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 3 February 2045 at 02:18 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 29 January 2045 at 16:53 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.156°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.184° at the point of next southern standstill on 11 February 2045 at 15:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
