Spring tide
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.
Lunation 1128 / 2081
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1128 of Meeus index or 2081 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.73 days
Length of current 1128 lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 34 minutes. It is 1 hour and 47 minutes longer than next lunation 1129 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 50 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 13 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠165.8°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠165.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠189.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of apogee on 21 March 2091 at 17:48 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 4 April 2091 at 03:26 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 363 615 km
Moon is 363 615 km (225 940 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 356 783 km (221 695 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 1 April 2091 at 21:03 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 14 April 2091 at 19:58 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
6 days after previous North standstill on 28 March 2091 at 00:55 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠18.531°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-18.596° in the next southern standstill on 9 April 2091 at 13:20 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
