Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♍ Virgo later.
It is Snow Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Snow of February 2082.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1953"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1953" and ∠1943".
Lunation 1015 / 1968
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1015 of Meeus index or 1968 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 2 minutes and it is 14 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 18 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 45 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠122.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠122.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠154.1°.
Moon before perigee
10 days since point of apogee on 2 February 2082 at 18:11 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 February 2082 at 17:46 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 367 054 km(228 077 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 321 km(223 893 mi).
Moon before descending node
13 days after ascending node on 31 January 2082 at 01:22 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 February 2082 at 00:16 in ♍ Virgo.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 9 February 2082 at 02:32 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.278° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.301° at the point of next southern standstill on 21 February 2082 at 17:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
