Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 12 January 2047 at 01:21.
Wolf Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2047 after 26 days on 10 February 2047 at 14:40.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1951"
Lunar disc appears visually 0% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1951" and ∠1951".
Lunation 581 / 1534
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 581 of Meeus index or 1534 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 5 minutes and it is 1 hour and 37 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 21 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 42 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠60.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠60.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠96.2°.
Moon before perigee
11 days since point of apogee on 4 January 2047 at 09:26 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 16 January 2047 at 21:10 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 367 370 km(228 273 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 325 km(229 488 mi).
Moon after descending node
3 days after descending node on 12 January 2047 at 07:29 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 25 January 2047 at 05:56 in ♑ Capricorn.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 9 January 2047 at 16:36 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.065° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.072° at the point of next southern standstill on 22 January 2047 at 15:26 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 10 days on 26 January 2047 at 01:44 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
