Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 9 January 2092 at 01:37
- First Quarter in Aries ♈ on 16 January 2092 at 14:08
- Full Moon in Cancer ♋ on 24 January 2092 at 14:55
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 31 January 2092 at 17:25
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 1137 / 2090
At 13:54 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1137 of Meeus index or 2090 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
29 days, 11 hours and 43 minutes is the length of new lunation 1137. It is 1 hour and 43 minutes shorter than next lunation 1138 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 1 minute shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 8 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠20.8°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠20.8°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠40.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 6 January 2092 at 12:22 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 January 2092 at 05:57 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 370 923 km
Moon is 370 923 km (230 481 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 9 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 702 km (251 470 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after its ascending node on 29 December 2091 at 20:00 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 11 January 2092 at 13:52 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in southern standstill
At 08:40 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-19.466°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠19.448° in its northern standstill point on 22 January 2092 at 14:14 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
