Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 14 February 2090 at 13:39 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Snow of February 2090.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1942".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1114 of Meeus index or 2067 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 12 minutes and it is 1 hour and 10 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2090. 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°).
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.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠163.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠188.4°.
Moon is at perigee at 17:13 about 13 days since last apogee on 1 February 2090 at 09:55 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 28 February 2090 at 10:33 in ♒ Aquarius.
This perigee Moon is 356 621 km (221 594 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2090. It is 5 887 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 196 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
10 days after descending node on 3 February 2090 at 19:04 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 16 February 2090 at 19:19 in ♍ Virgo.
3 days since the last northern standstill on 10 February 2090 at 19:04 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.250° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.192° at the point of next southern standstill on 23 February 2090 at 11:00 in ♑ Capricorn.
24 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♎ Libra the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
