Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 3 February 2070 at 04:46.
Snow Moon after 18 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2070 after 18 days on 25 February 2070 at 02:31.
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 ∠1780"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1780" and ∠1945".
Lunation 866 / 1819
The Moon is 25 days old and navigating from the second to the final 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 apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 4 February 2070 at 01:19 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 February 2070 at 15:55 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 402 701 km(250 227 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 370 239 km(230 056 mi).
Moon after ascending node
4 days after ascending node on 1 February 2070 at 20:26 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 15 February 2070 at 19:12 in ♈ Aries.
At 10:23 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-19.101°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt northward to face maximum declination of ∠18.990° at the point of next northern standstill in ♊ Gemini on 19 February 2070 at 18:41.
In 4 days on 11 February 2070 at 02:52 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
