Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 3 April 2076 at 17:47.
Pink Moon after 10 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2076 after 10 days on 19 April 2076 at 06:29.
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 ∠1803"
Lunar disc appears visually 6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1803" and ∠1915".
Lunation 943 / 1896
The Moon is 5 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 943 of Meeus index or 1896 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 5 minutes and it is 1 hour and 17 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. 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 1 hour and 40 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 30 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠48.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠48.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠78.4°.
Moon before apogee
7 days since point of perigee on 31 March 2076 at 14:52 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 12 April 2076 at 11:48 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 397 444 km(246 960 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 352 km(251 253 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 27 March 2076 at 10:20 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 9 April 2076 at 08:47 in ♊ Gemini.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 28 March 2076 at 05:49 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.953° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠24.071° at the point of next northern standstill on 10 April 2076 at 09:56 in ♋ Cancer.
In 10 days on 19 April 2076 at 06:29 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
