Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 4 February 2061 at 15:22.
Snow Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2061 after 25 days on 6 March 2061 at 05:54.
Neap tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1796"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1796" and ∠1945".
Lunation 755 / 1708
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 755 of Meeus index or 1708 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 15 minutes and it is 2 hours and 23 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
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.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠265.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠265.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠299.9°.
Moon before apogee
8 days since 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 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 12 February 2061 at 05:47 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 398 992 km(247 922 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 249 km(251 189 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 27 January 2061 at 14:07 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 9 February 2061 at 17:58 in ♎ Libra.
6 days since the last northern 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 7 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 11 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.
