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 ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1781"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1781" and ∠1947".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 7 February 2067 at 06:14
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 13 February 2067 at 21:57
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 20 February 2067 at 23:30

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 829 / 1782
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 829 of Meeus index or 1782 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.44 days
Length of current 829 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes. It is 9 minutes longer than next lunation 830 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 4 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 5 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠2.4°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠2.4°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠18.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 28 January 2067 at 14:45 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 12 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 12 February 2067 at 19:54 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 402 416 km
Moon is 402 416 km (250 050 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 12 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 905 km (223 013 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 26 January 2067 at 22:59 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 10 February 2067 at 02:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
17 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
5 days after previous North standstill on 26 January 2067 at 00:50 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠23.887°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-23.790° in the next southern standstill on 9 February 2067 at 10:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 13 days
After 13 days on 13 February 2067 at 21:57 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
