Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 27 February 2076 at 15:54.
Worm Moon after 18 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2076 after 18 days on 20 March 2076 at 16:37.
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 ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1935".
Lunation 941 / 1894
The Moon is 26 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 941 of Meeus index or 1894 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes and it is longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2076. 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 21 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 48 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠9.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠9.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠26.4°.
Moon before perigee
14 days since point of apogee on 17 February 2076 at 01:30 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 March 2076 at 17:20 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 363 304 km(225 747 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 806 km(224 194 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 29 February 2076 at 09:23 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 13 March 2076 at 06:34 in ♋ Cancer.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 29 February 2076 at 23:45 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.705° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.806° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 March 2076 at 02:15 in ♋ Cancer.
In 2 days on 5 March 2076 at 07:24 in ♓ Pisces 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.
