Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Wolf Moon after 23 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2063 after 23 days on 14 January 2063 at 19:11.
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 ∠1938"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1938" and ∠1951".
Lunation 778 / 1731
The Moon is 21 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 778 of Meeus index or 1731 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 56 minutes and it is 1 hour and 30 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 12 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 51 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠123°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠123° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠154.3°.
Moon before perigee
16 days since point of apogee on 5 December 2062 at 19:32 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 26 December 2062 at 08:56 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 369 795 km(229 780 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 616 km(221 591 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 21 December 2062 at 21:32 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 5 January 2063 at 05:33 in ♓ Pisces.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 16 December 2062 at 13:49 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.313° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.306° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 December 2062 at 18:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 8 days on 30 December 2062 at 16:57 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
