Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 13 March 2074 at 09:01.
Worm Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2074 after 27 days on 11 April 2074 at 18:30.
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 ∠1968"
Lunar disc appears visually 2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1968" and ∠1929".
Lunation 917 / 1870
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 07:27 about 11 days since last apogee on 3 March 2074 at 10:49 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 15 days until point of next apogee on 31 March 2074 at 02:22 in ♉ Taurus.
This perigee Moon is 362 025 km(224 952 mi) away from Earth. It is 483 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 8 331 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 10 March 2074 at 10:26 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 23 March 2074 at 02:17 in ♒ Aquarius.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 8 March 2074 at 00:50 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.323° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.405° at the point of next southern standstill on 20 March 2074 at 18:34 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 12 days on 27 March 2074 at 14:19 in ♈ Aries 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.
