Spring tide
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.
New lunation -953 /
At : on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation -953 of Meeus index or from Brown series.
Synodic month length 0 days
days, 1 hour and 1 minute is the length of new lunation -953. It is longer than next lunation -953 length.
Lunation length same as the mean
Length of current synodic month is equal to the mean length of synodic month. It is 6 hours and 9 minutes longer than the 21st century shortest and 7 hours and 3 minutes shorter than the 21st century longest synodic month.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠0°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠0°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠0°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
30186 days after point of apogee on at : in &#; . The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on at : in &#; .
Distance to Moon 382 169 km
Moon is 382 169 km (237 469 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 0 km (0 mi).
Moon before descending node
30186 days after its descending node on at : in &#; , the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on at : in &#; .
Draconic month
30186 days after beginning of current draconic month in &#; , the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
30186 days after previous South standstill on at : in &#; , when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠° in the next northern standstill on at : in &#; .
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
