Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Snow Moon after 21 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2052 after 21 days on 14 February 2052 at 18:21.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1949".
Lunation 643 / 1596
The Moon is 22 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 643 of Meeus index or 1596 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 25 minutes and it is 2 hours and 19 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 2 hours and 41 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 22 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠248.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠248.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠285.5°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 12:51 about 11 days since last perigee on 12 January 2052 at 14:41 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next perigee on 6 February 2052 at 18:01 in ♈ Aries.
This apogee Moon is 404 327 km(251 237 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 081 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 2 382 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 22 January 2052 at 12:23 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 February 2052 at 10:04 in ♈ Aries.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 14 January 2052 at 01:12 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.725° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.646° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 January 2052 at 05:17 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 7 days on 31 January 2052 at 18:30 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.
