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 794 / 1747
The Moon is 7 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 794 of Meeus index or 1747 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.72 days
Length of current 794 lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 17 minutes. It is 2 hours and 24 minutes longer than next lunation 795 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 33 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 30 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠181.6°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠181.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠206.1°. 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 perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 17 March 2064 at 21:10 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 6 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 1 April 2064 at 05:29 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 382 640 km
Moon is 382 640 km (237 761 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 6 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 357 235 km (221 976 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after its ascending node on 15 March 2064 at 05:39 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 29 March 2064 at 11:52 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
10 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 03:21 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠27.727°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-27.645° in its southern standstill point on 6 April 2064 at 15:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 7 days
After 7 days on 1 April 2064 at 17:40 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
