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 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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 12 minutes. It is 31 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 32 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠6.2°
The true anomaly is ∠6.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠22.9°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 25 January 2093 at 18:37 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 February 2093 at 19:24 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 365 496 km
The Moon is 365 496 km (227 109 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 386 km (251 895 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♑ Capricorn at 22:34 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 14 days later on 9 February 2093 at 23:58 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 25 January 2093 at 09:00 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.833°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.836° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 February 2093 at 00:49 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
