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 ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1919" and ∠1938".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2093 after 15 days on 13 March 2093 at 04:06.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 5 March 2093 at 03:27
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 13 March 2093 at 04:06
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 20 March 2093 at 04:57

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 1152 / 2105
At 15:05 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1152 of Meeus index or 2105 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.51 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 12 minutes. It is 42 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 32 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠43.9°
The true anomaly is ∠43.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠73.1°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 22 February 2093 at 20:31 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 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 March 2093 at 14:56 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 373 575 km
The Moon is 373 575 km (232 129 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 492 km (251 340 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 23 February 2093 at 08:08 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 9 March 2093 at 06:15 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 21 February 2093 at 17:26 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.882°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.943° at the point of next northern standstill on 7 March 2093 at 08:10 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.
