Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 14 March 2082 at 16:45.
Worm Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2082 after 23 days on 13 April 2082 at 01:45.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1905"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1905" and ∠1926".
Lunation 1016 / 1969
The Moon is 21 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 after perigee
5 days since point of perigee on 15 March 2082 at 04:17 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 29 March 2082 at 11:30 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 376 181 km(233 748 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 577 km(252 635 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 13 March 2082 at 11:29 in ♍ Virgo 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 26 March 2082 at 13:54 in ♒ Aquarius.
At 23:38 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-28.248°. Over the upcoming 15 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt northward to face maximum declination of ∠28.159° at the point of next northern standstill in ♊ Gemini on 4 April 2082 at 18:02.
In 8 days on 29 March 2082 at 09:05 in ♈ Aries the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
