Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 30 January 2084 at 12:42.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1947"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1947" and ∠1946".
Snow Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2084 after 16 days on 21 February 2084 at 16:36.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 6 February 2084 at 04:53
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 13 February 2084 at 13:28
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 21 February 2084 at 16:36
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 28 February 2084 at 21:04
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.
Lunation 1039 / 1992
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final 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 perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 4 February 2084 at 03:46 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 February 2084 at 22:33 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 368 148 km
The Moon is 368 148 km (228 757 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 864 km (251 571 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 4 February 2084 at 23:18 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 February 2084 at 23:12 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 2 February 2084 at 09:12 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.324°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.289° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 February 2084 at 18:41 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 6 February 2084 at 04:53 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
