Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
It is Worm Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Worm of March 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 ∠1969"
Lunar disc appears visually 2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1969" and ∠1929".
Lunation 1016 / 1969
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1016 of Meeus index or 1969 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 16 minutes and it is 1 hour and 19 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2082. 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 32 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 31 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠154.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠154.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠179.1°.
Moon before perigee
12 days since point of apogee on 2 March 2082 at 08:00 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 15 March 2082 at 04:17 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 364 091 km(226 236 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 173 km(221 937 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 13 March 2082 at 11:29 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 26 March 2082 at 13:54 in ♒ Aquarius.
6 days since the last northern standstill on 8 March 2082 at 11:16 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.286° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.248° at the point of next southern standstill on 20 March 2082 at 23:38 in ♐ Sagittarius.
