Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 2 April 2079 at 01:30.
Pink Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2079 after 11 days on 16 April 2079 at 05:02.
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 ∠1966"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1966" and ∠1918".
Lunation 980 / 1933
The Moon is 3 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 980 of Meeus index or 1933 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 27 minutes and it is 1 hour and 43 minutes longer than the upcoming 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 17 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 52 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠322.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠322.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠341.2°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 09:24 about 11 days since last apogee on 23 March 2079 at 14:17 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 15 days until point of next apogee on 20 April 2079 at 06:49 in ♐ Sagittarius.
This perigee Moon is 363 660 km(225 968 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 152 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 6 696 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 3 April 2079 at 08:26 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 16 April 2079 at 14:26 in ♎ Libra.
9 days since the last southern standstill on 25 March 2079 at 16:26 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.001° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.041° at the point of next northern standstill on 7 April 2079 at 18:50 in ♊ Gemini.
In 11 days on 16 April 2079 at 05:02 in ♎ Libra 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.
