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 792 / 1745
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is 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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠125.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠156.8°.
Moon before apogee
11 days after point of apogee on 23 January 2064 at 05:31 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 February 2064 at 06:21 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 365 642 km
The Moon is 365 642 km (227 199 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 865 km (223 610 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♌ Leo at 15:20 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 16 February 2064 at 23:59 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
13 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 northern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 30 January 2064 at 10:58 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.857°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.877° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 February 2064 at 02:10 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.
