Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2072 after 15 days on 4 March 2072 at 15:17.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1941".
New lunation 891 / 1844
At 06:35 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 891 of Meeus index or lunation 1844 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 29 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2072. It is 1 hour and 11 minutes longer than the next 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 6 hours and 44 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 18 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠166.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠166.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠190.8°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 17 February 2072 at 20:18 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 March 2072 at 18:40 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 405 427 km(251 921 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 14 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 074 km(222 497 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 6 February 2072 at 10:25 in ♍ Virgo 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 20 February 2072 at 15:17 in ♓ Pisces.
4 days since the last southern standstill on 14 February 2072 at 06:42 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.318° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.278° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 February 2072 at 19:35 in ♊ Gemini.
