Moon phase and lunation details
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 25 January 2062 at 03:37.
Moonrise and moonset
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.

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.
Lunation 767 / 1720
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 767 of Meeus index or 1720 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.76 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 18 minutes. It is 2 hours and 15 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠201.9°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠201.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠232.2°.
Moon after perigee
5 days after point of perigee on 23 January 2062 at 20:23 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 4 February 2062 at 22:20 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 385 769 km
The Moon is 385 769 km (239 706 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 649 km (252 059 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♎ Libra at 04:17 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 14 days later on 12 February 2062 at 17:33 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 22 January 2062 at 20:38 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.481°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.542° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 February 2062 at 08:12 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 9 February 2062 at 12:11 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
