Lunar disc appears visually 8.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1931".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2057 after 10 days on 21 March 2057 at 00:45.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 707 of Meeus index or 1660 from Brown series.
Length of current 707 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 7 minutes. It is 54 minutes shorter than next lunation 708 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 23 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 40 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠80°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠117°. 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°).
11 days after point of perigee on 26 February 2057 at 15:47 in ♐ Sagittarius. 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 12 March 2057 at 10:58 in ♊ Gemini.

9 days after its descending node on 28 February 2057 at 18:40 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 14 March 2057 at 17:54 in ♋ Cancer.

9 days after previous South standstill on 28 February 2057 at 20:38 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.014°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.130° in the next northern standstill on 14 March 2057 at 22:50 in ♋ Cancer.
After 10 days on 21 March 2057 at 00:45 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
