Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1906" and ∠1942".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2075 after 15 days on 2 March 2075 at 20:06.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 22 February 2075 at 20:00
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 2 March 2075 at 20:06
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 9 March 2075 at 20:17
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 16 March 2075 at 19:25
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 929 / 1882
At 06:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 929 of Meeus index or 1882 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.53 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. It is 47 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length same as the mean
The length of the current synodic month is equal to the mean synodic month length. It is %hours_to_shortest% and %minutes_to_shortest% longer than the 21st century's shortest and %hours_to_longest% and %minutes_to_longest% shorter than the 21st century's longest synodic months.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠46.3°
The true anomaly is ∠46.3°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠76.5°.
Moon after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 12 February 2075 at 07:55 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 24 February 2075 at 02:31 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 375 968 km
The Moon is 375 968 km (233 616 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 450 km (251 314 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 12 February 2075 at 23:10 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 26 February 2075 at 22:09 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 12 February 2075 at 04:13 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-21.860°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.916° at the point of next northern standstill on 26 February 2075 at 00:14 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
