Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♒ Aquarius later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1961" and ∠1948".
Snow Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2093 after 16 days on 11 February 2093 at 12:18.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 27 January 2093 at 03:22
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 3 February 2093 at 07:27
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 11 February 2093 at 12:18
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 18 February 2093 at 21:32
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 1150 / 2103
At 16:10 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1150 of Meeus index or 2103 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.47 days
29 days, 11 hours and 12 minutes is the length of new lunation 1150. It is 31 minutes shorter than next lunation 1151 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 32 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 37 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠6.2°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠6.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠22.9°. 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 25 January 2093 at 18:37 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 11 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 6 February 2093 at 19:24 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 365 496 km
Moon is 365 496 km (227 109 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 11 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 386 km (251 895 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♑ Capricorn at 22:34 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 14 days to meet ascending node on 9 February 2093 at 23:58 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the middle to the last part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day after previous South standstill on 25 January 2093 at 09:00 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.833°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠20.836° in the next northern standstill on 8 February 2093 at 00:49 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.
