Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 4 March 2089 at 05:05.
Worm Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2089 after 19 days on 26 March 2089 at 09:20.
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 ∠1769"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1933".
Lunation 1102 / 2055
The Moon is 24 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1102 of Meeus index or 2055 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 8 minutes and it is 2 hours and 46 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 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 details for
True anomaly ∠211.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠211.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠244.3°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 23 February 2089 at 04:43 in ♌ Leo 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 7 March 2089 at 02:34 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 405 129 km(251 735 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 275 km(251 826 mi).
Moon after ascending node
6 days after ascending node on 27 February 2089 at 20:38 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 March 2089 at 09:03 in ♈ Aries.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 5 March 2089 at 03:03 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.545° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.481° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 March 2089 at 08:14 in ♊ Gemini.
In 5 days on 12 March 2089 at 08:24 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.
