Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 11 February 2070 at 02:52.
Snow Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2070 after 11 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 ∠1918"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1918" and ∠1943".
Lunation 867 / 1820
The Moon is 2 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 867 of Meeus index or 1820 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 1 minute and it is 2 hours and 22 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 16 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 47 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠282°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠282° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠312°.
Moon before perigee
9 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 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 February 2070 at 15:55 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 373 646 km(232 173 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 370 239 km(230 056 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 1 February 2070 at 20:26 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 15 February 2070 at 19:12 in ♈ Aries.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 6 February 2070 at 10:23 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.101° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.990° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 February 2070 at 18:41 in ♊ Gemini.
In 11 days on 25 February 2070 at 02:31 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
