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 ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1785" and ∠1942".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2064 after 15 days on 3 March 2064 at 08:19.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 17 February 2064 at 07:03
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 25 February 2064 at 11:23
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 3 March 2064 at 08:19
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 10 March 2064 at 00:33
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
12 days after point of perigee on 4 February 2064 at 06:21 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 February 2064 at 18:41 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 401 599 km
The Moon is 401 599 km (249 542 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 266 km (252 442 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♒ Aquarius at 23:59 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 2 March 2064 at 02:40 in ♌ Leo.
New draconic month
At 23:59 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 12 February 2064 at 02:10 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.877°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.859° at the point of next northern standstill on 26 February 2064 at 20:13 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.
