Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 25 February 2070 at 02:31.
Snow Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2070 after 26 days on 26 March 2070 at 17:31.
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 ∠1790"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1790" and ∠1936".
Lunation 867 / 1820
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 apogee
10 days since point of perigee on 17 February 2070 at 15:55 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 3 March 2070 at 22:21 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 400 357 km(248 770 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 337 km(251 243 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 15 February 2070 at 19:12 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 1 March 2070 at 00:18 in ♏ Scorpio.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 19 February 2070 at 18:41 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.990° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.883° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 March 2070 at 19:21 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 12 days on 12 March 2070 at 15:52 in ♓ Pisces 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.
