Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1769"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1941".
Worm Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2064 after 13 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
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 793 / 1746
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 793 of Meeus index or 1746 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.78 days
Length of current 793 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 next lunation 794 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 58 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 5 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠156.8°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠156.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠181.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before apogee
14 days after point of perigee on 4 February 2064 at 06:21 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 19 February 2064 at 18:41 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 405 110 km
Moon is 405 110 km (251 724 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 266 km (252 442 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 16 February 2064 at 23:59 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 2 March 2064 at 02:40 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days after previous South standstill on 12 February 2064 at 02:10 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.877°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.859° in the next northern standstill on 26 February 2064 at 20:13 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 13 days
After 13 days on 3 March 2064 at 08:19 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
