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 is entering ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1942".
Worm Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2064 after 14 days on 3 March 2064 at 08:19.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 18 March 2064 at 01:45
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 793 / 1746
At 07:03 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 793 of Meeus index or 1746 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.78 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 42 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2064. It is 1 hour and 25 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 5 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠156.8°
The true anomaly is ∠156.8°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠181.6°.
Moon before perigee
13 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 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 February 2064 at 18:41 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 403 794 km
The Moon is 403 794 km (250 906 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 266 km (252 442 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 16 February 2064 at 23:59 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 2 March 2064 at 02:40 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
5 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 9 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.
