Moon phase and lunation details
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 17 February 2064 at 07:03.
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
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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠156.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠181.6°.
Moon before perigee
14 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 day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 February 2064 at 18:41 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 405 110 km
The Moon is 405 110 km (251 724 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day 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 12 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
6 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 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.859° at the point of next northern standstill on 26 February 2064 at 20:13 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 13 days
In 13 days on 3 March 2064 at 08:19 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
