Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 755 / 1708
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final 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 before perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 12 February 2061 at 05:47 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 24 February 2061 at 09:19 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 382 939 km
Moon is 382 939 km (237 947 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 368 440 km (228 938 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after its descending node on 9 February 2061 at 17:58 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 23 February 2061 at 16:18 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
22 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days after previous South standstill on 15 February 2061 at 18:38 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.209°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.299° in the next northern standstill on 28 February 2061 at 20:22 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 20 February 2061 at 05:31 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
