Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 30 January 2054 at 15:08.
Snow Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2054 after 19 days on 22 February 2054 at 06:46.
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 ∠1800"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1800" and ∠1947".
Lunation 668 / 1621
The Moon is 24 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 668 of Meeus index or 1621 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 40 minutes and it is 1 hour and 8 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2054. 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 6 hours and 56 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 7 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠168.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠168.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠193.2°.
Moon before apogee
9 days since point of perigee on 23 January 2054 at 19:38 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 February 2054 at 06:08 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 398 106 km(247 372 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 527 km(252 604 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 26 January 2054 at 01:32 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 9 February 2054 at 07:02 in ♓ Pisces.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 21 January 2054 at 23:45 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.720° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-18.688° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 February 2054 at 02:34 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 5 days on 7 February 2054 at 18:14 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.
