Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 1 May 2045 at 05:52.
Flower Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2045 after 25 days on 30 May 2045 at 17:52.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1784"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1784" and ∠1902".
Lunation 560 / 1513
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 560 of Meeus index or 1513 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 1 minute and it is 2 hours and 22 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 44 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 25 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠274.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠274.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠305.3°.
Moon before apogee
10 days since point of perigee on 24 April 2045 at 22:26 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 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 May 2045 at 09:24 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 401 662 km(249 581 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 121 km(251 109 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 26 April 2045 at 01:40 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 9 May 2045 at 21:30 in ♒ Aquarius.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 4 May 2045 at 15:12 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.817° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.745° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 May 2045 at 18:47 in ♊ Gemini.
In 11 days on 16 May 2045 at 18:26 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
