Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 19 February 2072 at 02:03.
Worm Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2072 after 13 days on 4 March 2072 at 15:17.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1779"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1779" and ∠1940".
Lunation 892 / 1845
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 892 of Meeus index or 1845 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 18 minutes and it is 2 hours and 43 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 5 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠190.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠190.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠217.4°.
Moon after apogee
2 days 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 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 March 2072 at 18:40 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 402 836 km(250 311 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 074 km(222 497 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♓ Pisces at 15:17 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 4 March 2072 at 21:20 in ♍ Virgo.
6 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 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.278° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 February 2072 at 19:35 in ♊ Gemini.
In 13 days on 4 March 2072 at 15:17 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.
