Snow Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2079 after 14 days on 15 February 2079 at 23:45.
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.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1827" and ∠1947".
New lunation 978 / 1931
At 23:35 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 978 of Meeus index or lunation 1931 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 13 minutes. It is 2 hours and 32 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 29 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 34 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠261.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠261.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠296.6°.
Moon after apogee
5 days since point of apogee on 26 January 2079 at 21:03 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 11 February 2079 at 08:13 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 392 233 km(243 722 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 9 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 141 km(229 374 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 24 January 2079 at 23:31 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 7 February 2079 at 23:17 in ♈ Aries.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 30 January 2079 at 00:20 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.617° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.715° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 February 2079 at 07:40 in ♋ Cancer.
