Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 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 in ♎ Libra
Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1940"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1940" and ∠1950".
Wolf Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2090 after 24 days on 14 February 2090 at 13:39.

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 20 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
4 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 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 February 2090 at 09:55 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 369 443 km
The Moon is 369 443 km (229 561 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 433 km (252 546 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 20 January 2090 at 12:25 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 3 February 2090 at 19:04 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
7 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 5 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 9 days
In 9 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.
