Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 11 February 2074 at 21:05.
Snow Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2074 after 26 days on 13 March 2074 at 09:01.
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 ∠1950"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1950" and ∠1943".
Lunation 916 / 1869
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 916 of Meeus index or 1869 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 23 minutes and it is 57 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 39 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 24 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠72.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠72.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠110°.
Moon before perigee
10 days since point of apogee on 3 February 2074 at 14:44 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 15 February 2074 at 14:22 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 367 633 km(228 437 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 554 km(228 387 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 11 February 2074 at 01:16 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 23 February 2074 at 22:23 in ♒ Aquarius.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 8 February 2074 at 15:47 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.239° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.259° at the point of next southern standstill on 21 February 2074 at 13:21 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 11 days on 25 February 2074 at 22:00 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.
