Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1938".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2055 after 14 days on 13 March 2055 at 08:57.
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.
At 12:39 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 682 of Meeus index or 1635 from Brown series.
29 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes is the length of new lunation 682. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes longer than next lunation 683 length.
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 38 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 25 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠170.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠194.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
13 days after point of perigee on 12 February 2055 at 17:59 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 27 February 2055 at 13:56 in ♓ Pisces.

4 days after previous South standstill on 21 February 2055 at 16:20 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.715°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.771° in the next northern standstill on 8 March 2055 at 09:08 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
