Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 3 days on 25 February 2074 at 22:00.
Worm Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2074 after 11 days on 13 March 2074 at 09:01.
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 ∠1774"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1774" and ∠1936".
Lunation 917 / 1870
The Moon is 3 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 917 of Meeus index or 1870 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 20 minutes and it is 8 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 3 hours and 35 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 27 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠110°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠110° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠144°.
Moon before apogee
13 days since point of perigee on 15 February 2074 at 14:22 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 3 March 2074 at 10:49 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 404 108 km(251 101 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 044 km(251 683 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 23 February 2074 at 22:23 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 10 March 2074 at 10:26 in ♌ Leo.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 21 February 2074 at 13:21 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.259° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.323° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 March 2074 at 00:50 in ♋ Cancer.
In 11 days on 13 March 2074 at 09:01 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.
