Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1779" and ∠1946".
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2046 after 15 days on 20 February 2046 at 23:44.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
At 23:10 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 570 of Meeus index or 1523 from Brown series.
29 days, 19 hours and 6 minutes is the length of new lunation 570. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2046. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes longer than next lunation 571 length.
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 22 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 41 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠159.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠184.1°. 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°).
12 days after point of perigee on 23 January 2046 at 19:02 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 8 February 2046 at 05:11 in ♓ Pisces.

At 15:45 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
4 days after previous South standstill on 1 February 2046 at 11:30 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.313°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.295° in the next northern standstill on 16 February 2046 at 04:45 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
