Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♏ Scorpio later.
1 day after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 1 day on 28 December 2067 at 19:10.
Wolf Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2068 after 19 days on 19 January 2068 at 09:45.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1816"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1816" and ∠1951".
Lunation 840 / 1793
The Moon is 23 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 840 of Meeus index or 1793 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 33 minutes and it is 1 hour and 27 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 11 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 58 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠307.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠307.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠331.1°.
Moon after apogee
4 days since point of apogee on 25 December 2067 at 23:56 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 6 January 2068 at 20:29 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 394 679 km(245 242 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 414 km(224 572 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 19 December 2067 at 07:06 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 2 January 2068 at 18:49 in ♐ Sagittarius.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 19 December 2067 at 19:23 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.286° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.264° at the point of next southern standstill on 3 January 2068 at 06:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 5 days on 5 January 2068 at 02:38 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
