Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1798"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1798" and ∠1949".

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.
Lunation 1039 / 1992
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1039 of Meeus index or 1992 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.48 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 36 minutes. It is 35 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 8 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 1 minute longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠15°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠15°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠33.6°.
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 19 January 2084 at 04:48 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 February 2084 at 03:46 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 398 704 km
The Moon is 398 704 km (247 743 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 658 km (225 345 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 22 January 2084 at 16:11 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 4 February 2084 at 23:18 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 19 January 2084 at 11:14 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.337°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.324° at the point of next southern standstill on 2 February 2084 at 09:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
