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 779 / 1732
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 779 of Meeus index or 1732 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.81 days
Length of current 779 lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2063. It is 11 minutes longer than next lunation 780 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 42 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 21 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠154.3°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠154.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠179.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of apogee on 2 January 2063 at 10:03 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 January 2063 at 06:21 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 364 256 km
Moon is 364 256 km (226 338 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 356 937 km (221 790 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after its ascending node on 5 January 2063 at 05:33 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 18 January 2063 at 01:44 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 13 January 2063 at 00:22 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.364°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.406° in the next southern standstill on 25 January 2063 at 23:21 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
