Moon phase and lunation details

5 days after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 30 March 2067 at 20:08.

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 ♐ Sagittarius

Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1955"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1955" and ∠1918".

Worm Moon before 5 days

Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2067 after 23 days on 29 April 2067 at 08:40.

Upcoming main Moon phases

  • Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 6 April 2067 at 23:37
  • New Moon in Aries ♈ on 13 April 2067 at 19:23
  • First Quarter in Cancer ♋ on 21 April 2067 at 14:15
  • Full Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 29 April 2067 at 08:40

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 831 / 1784

The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 831 of Meeus index or 1784 from Brown series.

PreviousCurrent lunationNext

Synodic month length 29.45 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 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 shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠37.6°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠37.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠63.8°.

Moon before apogee

11 days after point of apogee on 24 March 2067 at 19:49 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 April 2067 at 05:49 in ♒ Aquarius.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 366 593 km

The Moon is 366 593 km (227 790 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 765 km (229 140 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 05:55 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 18 April 2067 at 06:40 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous nodeNext node

New draconic month

At 05:55 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.

Moon after southern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 4 April 2067 at 22:26 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.296°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.205° at the point of next northern standstill on 17 April 2067 at 23:59 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 8 days

In 8 days on 13 April 2067 at 19:23 in ♈ Aries 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.
