Moon phase and lunation details
1 day after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 24 March 2075 at 16:45.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1782"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1782" and ∠1923".
Pink Moon after 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2075 after 5 days on 1 April 2075 at 08:45.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 April 2075 at 08:45
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 8 April 2075 at 03:03
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 15 April 2075 at 08:55
- First Quarter in Leo ♌ on 23 April 2075 at 11:53
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.
Lunation 930 / 1883
The Moon is 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 930 of Meeus index or 1883 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.56 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 31 minutes. It is 56 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 46 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠76.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠76.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠113.2°.
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 23 March 2075 at 23:11 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 April 2075 at 22:38 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 402 174 km
The Moon is 402 174 km (249 899 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 9 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 126 km (228 122 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 01:58 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 8 April 2075 at 04:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 01:58 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 25 March 2075 at 08:07 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.138°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.269° at the point of next southern standstill on 7 April 2075 at 15:33 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 5 days
In 5 days on 1 April 2075 at 08:45 in ♎ Libra 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.
