Moon phase and lunation details

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.

Moon in ♒ Aquarius

Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1943".

Snow Moon after 14 days

Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2059 after 14 days on 27 February 2059 at 10:06.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

At 14:27 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 731 of Meeus index or 1684 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.4 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 38 minutes. It is 15 minutes longer 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°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 6 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 3 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠357°

The true anomaly is ∠357°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠12.4°.

Moon at perigee

Moon is at perigee at 18:34. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 30 January 2059 at 13:03 in ♌ Leo. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 26 February 2059 at 13:16 in ♌ Leo.

Previous apogeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 356 693 km

This perigee Moon is 356 693 km (221 639 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2059. It is 5 815 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 268 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.

Moon after descending node

5 days after descending node on 6 February 2059 at 23:45 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 19 February 2059 at 09:15 in ♊ Gemini.

Draconic month

20 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon after southern standstill

2 days since the previous standstill on 9 February 2059 at 14:58 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.103°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.179° at the point of next northern standstill on 22 February 2059 at 09:40 in ♋ Cancer.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
