Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 31 January 2077 at 03:35.
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 is passing first ∠0° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1889" and ∠1947".
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2077 after 6 days on 7 February 2077 at 23:08.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
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 953 of Meeus index or 1906 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 21 minutes. It is 1 hour and 3 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 23 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 46 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠339.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠355.5°.
6 days after point of perigee on 25 January 2077 at 18:01 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 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 February 2077 at 02:41 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 379 507 km (235 815 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 305 km (252 466 mi).
11 days after descending node on 21 January 2077 at 03:21 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 February 2077 at 17:16 in ♊ Gemini.
25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
9 days since the previous standstill on 22 January 2077 at 20:40 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.115°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.148° at the point of next northern standstill on 4 February 2077 at 17:05 in ♋ Cancer.
In 6 days on 7 February 2077 at 23:08 in ♌ Leo 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.
