Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1939".
Worm Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2077 after 14 days on 9 March 2077 at 17:42.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 1 March 2077 at 16:11
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 9 March 2077 at 17:42
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 17 March 2077 at 16:56
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 24 March 2077 at 08:24
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 954 / 1907
At 23:07 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 954 of Meeus index or 1907 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.39 days
29 days, 9 hours and 18 minutes is the length of new lunation 954. It is 22 minutes longer than next lunation 955 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 26 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 43 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠355.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠355.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠10.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 05:20, this is 13 days after last apogee on 10 February 2077 at 02:41 in ♍ Virgo. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 13 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 9 March 2077 at 03:31 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 356 817 km
This perigee Moon is 356 817 km (221 716 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 691 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 539 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
6 days after its descending node on 17 February 2077 at 08:19 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 1 March 2077 at 17:53 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days after previous South standstill on 19 February 2077 at 06:40 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.259°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.349° in the next northern standstill on 3 March 2077 at 22:10 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
