Moon phase and lunation details

4 days after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 7 February 2077 at 23:08.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Moon in ♎ Libra

Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1783"

Lunar disc appears visually 8.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1783" and ∠1943".

Snow Moon before 4 days

Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2077 after 25 days on 9 March 2077 at 17:42.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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 953 / 1906

The Moon is 18 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 953 of Meeus index or 1906 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.43 days

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°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

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.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠339.5°

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°.

Moon after apogee

2 days after point of apogee on 10 February 2077 at 02:41 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 23 February 2077 at 05:20 in ♓ Pisces.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 402 077 km

The Moon is 402 077 km (249 839 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 817 km (221 716 mi).

Moon before descending node

9 days after ascending node on 2 February 2077 at 17:16 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 17 February 2077 at 08:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Previous nodeNext node

Draconic month

9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon before southern standstill

7 days since the previous standstill on 4 February 2077 at 17:05 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.148°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.259° at the point of next southern standstill on 19 February 2077 at 06:40 in ♑ Capricorn.

Syzygy in 10 days

In 10 days on 22 February 2077 at 23:07 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
