Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 4 February 2061 at 15:22.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1834" and ∠1945".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2061 after 27 days on 6 March 2061 at 05:54.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 16 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 755 of Meeus index or 1708 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 15 minutes. It is 2 hours and 23 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 1 hour and 31 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 32 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠265.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠299.9°.
6 days after point of perigee on 30 January 2061 at 14:53 in ♉ Taurus. 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 12 February 2061 at 05:47 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 390 918 km (242 905 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 249 km (251 189 mi).
9 days after ascending node on 27 January 2061 at 14:07 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 9 February 2061 at 17:58 in ♎ Libra.
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 1 February 2061 at 14:36 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.115°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.209° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 February 2061 at 18:38 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 13 days on 20 February 2061 at 05:31 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
