Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1958" and ∠1935".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2060 after 14 days on 17 March 2060 at 03:41.
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 16:11 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 744 of Meeus index or 1697 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 26 minutes. It is 53 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 18 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 51 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠342.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠358.2°.
11 days after point of apogee on 20 February 2060 at 10:06 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 March 2060 at 16:59 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 366 128 km (227 501 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 816 km (222 958 mi).
8 days after descending node on 22 February 2060 at 12:39 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 6 March 2060 at 11:03 in ♉ Taurus.
23 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 27 February 2060 at 00:51 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.445°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.537° at the point of next northern standstill on 10 March 2060 at 14:36 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
