Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♐ Sagittarius later.
Worm Moon after 21 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2088 after 21 days on 7 March 2088 at 10:36.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1770"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1770" and ∠1943".
Lunation 1089 / 2042
The Moon is 22 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1089 of Meeus index or 2042 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 31 minutes and it is 2 hours and 40 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 47 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠241.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠241.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠278.3°.
Moon before apogee
10 days since point of perigee on 3 February 2088 at 18:12 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 February 2088 at 13:47 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 404 840 km(251 556 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 404 km(251 285 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 13 February 2088 at 04:30 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 27 February 2088 at 04:19 in ♉ Taurus.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 2 February 2088 at 22:41 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.864° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.751° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 February 2088 at 15:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 7 days on 22 February 2088 at 11:09 in ♓ Pisces 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.
