Synodic month length 29.59 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 12 minutes. It is 3 hours and 12 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 1 hour and 28 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 35 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠238.6°

The true anomaly is ∠238.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠274.3°.

Moon after apogee

4 days after point of apogee on 13 March 2045 at 18:23 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 March 2045 at 17:25 in ♌ Leo.

Distance to Moon 396 538 km

The Moon is 396 538 km (246 397 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 846 km (227 326 mi).

Moon after ascending node

1 day after ascending node on 16 March 2045 at 12:51 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 29 March 2045 at 22:04 in ♌ Leo.

Moon before northern standstill

7 days since the previous standstill on 10 March 2045 at 22:47 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.164°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.089° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 March 2045 at 07:00 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
