Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1828" and ∠1918".
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2057 after 15 days on 19 April 2057 at 10:49.
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 11:24 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 707 of Meeus index or 1660 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 7 minutes. It is 54 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 23 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 40 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠80°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠117°.
10 days after point of perigee on 24 March 2057 at 08:23 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 9 April 2057 at 05:48 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 392 187 km (243 694 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 996 km (251 653 mi).
6 days after descending node on 27 March 2057 at 19:16 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 10 April 2057 at 19:48 in ♋ Cancer.
19 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
6 days since the previous standstill on 28 March 2057 at 01:43 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.258°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.399° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 April 2057 at 06:46 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
