Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
It is Wolf Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Wolf of January 2070.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1903"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1903" and ∠1949".
Lunation 866 / 1819
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 866 of Meeus index or 1819 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 30 minutes and it is 2 hours and 30 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 46 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 17 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠244.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠244.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠282°.
Moon after perigee
3 days since point of perigee on 23 January 2070 at 04:43 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 4 February 2070 at 01:19 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 376 709 km(234 076 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 362 km(251 259 mi).
Moon before ascending node
6 days after descending node on 19 January 2070 at 18:41 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 1 February 2070 at 20:26 in ♎ Libra.
3 days since the last northern standstill on 23 January 2070 at 11:28 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.199° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.101° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 February 2070 at 10:23 in ♐ Sagittarius.
