Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
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 ∠10° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1773" and ∠1947".
Snow Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2090 after 15 days on 14 February 2090 at 13:39.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 7 February 2090 at 18:52
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 14 February 2090 at 13:39
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 21 February 2090 at 07:42
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 1 March 2090 at 09:46
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 1114 / 2067
At 14:34 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1114 of Meeus index or 2067 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.8 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 12 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2090. It is 1 hour and 10 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 6 hours and 28 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 35 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠163.9°
The true anomaly is ∠163.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠188.4°.
Moon before perigee
13 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 day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 February 2090 at 09:55 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 404 231 km
The Moon is 404 231 km (251 177 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 433 km (252 546 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 20 January 2090 at 12:25 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 3 February 2090 at 19:04 in ♓ Pisces.
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
3 days since the previous standstill on 27 January 2090 at 04:34 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.339°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.250° at the point of next northern standstill on 10 February 2090 at 19:04 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.
