Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 22 December 2075 at 08:48.
Cold Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2076 after 27 days on 21 January 2076 at 04:39.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1951".
Lunation 939 / 1892
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 939 of Meeus index or 1892 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 11 minutes and it is 24 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2075. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 33 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 36 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠337.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠337.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠354°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 19:52 about 15 days since last perigee on 9 December 2075 at 07:28 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next perigee on 6 January 2076 at 18:38 in ♑ Capricorn.
This apogee Moon is 406 155 km(252 373 mi) away from Earth. It is 747 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 554 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 22 December 2075 at 18:35 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 January 2076 at 17:45 in ♐ Sagittarius.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 23 December 2075 at 08:11 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.513° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.509° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 January 2076 at 04:17 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 12 days on 6 January 2076 at 10:14 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
