Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 3 days on 26 March 2047 at 11:44.
Pink Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2047 after 11 days on 10 April 2047 at 10:35.
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 ∠1771"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1771" and ∠1921".
Lunation 584 / 1537
The Moon is 3 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 584 of Meeus index or 1537 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 56 minutes and it is 1 hour and 8 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 12 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 51 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠161.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠161.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠185.7°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 28 March 2047 at 11:07 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 April 2047 at 16:08 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 404 707 km(251 473 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 789 km(221 698 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 20 March 2047 at 13:43 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 4 April 2047 at 05:01 in ♋ Cancer.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 18 March 2047 at 02:57 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.782° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.632° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 April 2047 at 17:57 in ♊ Gemini.
In 11 days on 10 April 2047 at 10:35 in ♎ Libra the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
