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 ♑ Capricorn
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1932" and ∠1951".
Wolf Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2092 after 16 days on 24 January 2092 at 14:55.
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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 43 minutes. It is 1 hour and 43 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 1 minute shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 8 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠20.8°
The true anomaly is ∠20.8°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠40.9°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 6 January 2092 at 12:22 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 18 January 2092 at 05:57 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 370 923 km
The Moon is 370 923 km (230 481 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 702 km (251 470 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 29 December 2091 at 20:00 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 11 January 2092 at 13:52 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at southern standstill
At 08:40 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-19.466°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠19.448° at the point of next standstill in ♋ Cancer on 22 January 2092 at 14:14.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
