Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1782" and ∠1944".
Snow Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2089 after 14 days on 24 February 2089 at 22:05.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 18 February 2089 at 07:15
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 24 February 2089 at 22:05
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 4 March 2089 at 05:05

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1102 / 2055
At 15:16 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1102 of Meeus index or 2055 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.71 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 8 minutes. It is 2 hours and 46 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 4 hours and 24 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 39 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠211.9°
The true anomaly is ∠211.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠244.3°.
Moon after apogee
3 days after point of apogee on 7 February 2089 at 10:18 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 23 February 2089 at 04:43 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 402 150 km
The Moon is 402 150 km (249 884 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 191 km (224 434 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 31 January 2089 at 14:33 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 15 February 2089 at 05:13 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 5 February 2089 at 19:19 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.740°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.626° at the point of next northern standstill on 20 February 2089 at 01:51 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
