Apparent angular diameter ∠1970"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1970" and ∠1914".
Lunation 918 / 1871
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 918 of Meeus index or 1871 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 28 minutes and it is 31 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2074. 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 44 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 19 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠144°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠144° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠170.1°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 14:37 about 12 days since last apogee on 31 March 2074 at 02:22 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next apogee on 27 April 2074 at 09:29 in ♉ Taurus.
This perigee Moon is 358 026 km(222 467 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 482 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 330 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 6 April 2074 at 16:25 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 19 April 2074 at 03:12 in ♒ Aquarius.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 4 April 2074 at 08:53 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.533° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.642° at the point of next southern standstill on 17 April 2074 at 01:07 in ♑ Capricorn.
