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 in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♒ Aquarius later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1875" and ∠1951".
Wolf Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2065 after 14 days on 22 January 2065 at 09:53.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aries ♈ on 14 January 2065 at 13:19
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 22 January 2065 at 09:53
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 29 January 2065 at 07:38
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 5 February 2065 at 10:02
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 804 / 1757
At 19:15 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 804 of Meeus index or 1757 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.62 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 47 minutes. It is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 3 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠57.9°
The true anomaly is ∠57.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠92.7°.
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 2 January 2065 at 20:34 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 January 2065 at 21:51 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 382 267 km
The Moon is 382 267 km (237 530 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 429 km (251 301 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 26 December 2064 at 08:47 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 January 2065 at 05:38 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
26 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 after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 5 January 2065 at 00:25 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.815°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.834° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 January 2065 at 06:26 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.
