Lunar disc appears visually 2.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1866" and ∠1907".
Lunation 1104 / 2057
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1104 of Meeus index or 2057 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 18 minutes and it is 2 hours and 37 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 43 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠280.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠280.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠310.1°.
Moon after perigee
6 days since point of perigee on 17 April 2089 at 16:01 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 May 2089 at 17:52 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 384 206 km(238 735 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 330 km(251 239 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 23 April 2089 at 14:43 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 8 May 2089 at 01:13 in ♈ Aries.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 15 April 2089 at 13:45 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.461° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.489° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 April 2089 at 19:54 in ♐ Sagittarius.
