Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 755 / 1708
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 755 of Meeus index or 1708 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.59 days
Length of current 755 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 15 minutes. It is 2 hours and 23 minutes longer than next lunation 756 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 31 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 32 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠265.6°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠265.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠299.9°. 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°).
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 30 January 2061 at 14:53 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 12 February 2061 at 05:47 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 381 368 km
Moon is 381 368 km (236 971 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 249 km (251 189 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after its ascending node on 27 January 2061 at 14:07 in ♈ Aries, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 5 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 9 February 2061 at 17:58 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days after previous North standstill on 1 February 2061 at 14:36 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.115°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.209° in the next southern standstill on 15 February 2061 at 18:38 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
