Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 4 March 2072 at 15:17.
Worm Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2072 after 25 days on 3 April 2072 at 01:25.
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 ∠1889"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1889" and ∠1932".
Lunation 892 / 1845
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 perigee
4 days since point of perigee on 3 March 2072 at 18:40 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 March 2072 at 05:25 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 379 404 km(235 751 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 956 km(252 249 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 4 March 2072 at 21:20 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 18 March 2072 at 21:48 in ♓ Pisces.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 28 February 2072 at 19:35 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.278° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.269° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 March 2072 at 13:34 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 11 days on 19 March 2072 at 20:21 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.
