Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♒ Aquarius later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1806" and ∠1950".
Snow Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2064 after 15 days on 2 February 2064 at 21:37.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 26 January 2064 at 17:42
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 2 February 2064 at 21:37
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 9 February 2064 at 12:55
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 17 February 2064 at 07:03
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 792 / 1745
At 12:37 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 792 of Meeus index or 1745 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.77 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 26 minutes. It is 16 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 42 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 21 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠125.9°
The true anomaly is ∠125.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠156.8°.
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of perigee on 7 January 2064 at 03:30 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 January 2064 at 05:31 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 396 808 km
The Moon is 396 808 km (246 565 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 424 km (251 919 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 7 January 2064 at 06:27 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 20 January 2064 at 17:11 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 15 January 2064 at 20:47 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.815°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.857° at the point of next northern standstill on 30 January 2064 at 10:58 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
