Moon phase and lunation details
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 3 March 2064 at 08:19.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1937"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1937" and ∠1933".

Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Lunation 793 / 1746
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last 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 after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 3 March 2064 at 17:31 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 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 17 March 2064 at 21:10 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 370 065 km
The Moon is 370 065 km (229 948 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 581 km (252 638 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 2 March 2064 at 02:40 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 15 March 2064 at 05:39 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
19 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 before southern standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on 26 February 2064 at 20:13 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.859°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.823° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 March 2064 at 08:07 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 10 days
In 10 days on 18 March 2064 at 01:45 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
