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 769 / 1722
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 769 of Meeus index or 1722 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.54 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 4 minutes. It is 2 hours and 58 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 20 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 43 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠268.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠268.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠301.6°.
Moon after perigee
5 days after point of perigee on 19 March 2062 at 16:28 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 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 April 2062 at 14:06 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 384 581 km
The Moon is 384 581 km (238 968 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 300 km (251 220 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 24 March 2062 at 21:44 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 April 2062 at 08:18 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
13 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 before southern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 18 March 2062 at 10:24 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.705°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.700° at the point of next southern standstill on 31 March 2062 at 23:35 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
