Moon phase and lunation details
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 16 January 2090 at 03:02.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is entering ♎ Libra
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1957"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1957" and ∠1950".
Wolf Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2090 after 25 days on 14 February 2090 at 13:39.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Libra ♎ on 22 January 2090 at 18:38
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 30 January 2090 at 14:34
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 7 February 2090 at 18:52

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.
Lunation 1113 / 2066
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1113 of Meeus index or 2066 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.78 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 37 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 53 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 10 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠135.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠135.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠163.9°.
Moon after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 17 January 2090 at 04:55 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 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 February 2090 at 09:55 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 366 357 km
The Moon is 366 357 km (227 644 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 433 km (252 546 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♎ Libra at 12:25 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 3 February 2090 at 19:04 in ♓ Pisces.
New draconic month
At 12:25 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 14 January 2090 at 07:41 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.390°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.339° at the point of next southern standstill on 27 January 2090 at 04:34 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 10 days
In 10 days on 30 January 2090 at 14:34 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.
