Lunation 1154 / 2107

The Moon is 3 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1154 of Meeus index or 2107 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.58 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 55 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 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 longer than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 11 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 52 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠109.2°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠109.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠142°.

Moon before perigee

12 days after point of perigee on 15 April 2093 at 13:30 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 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 May 2093 at 06:12 in ♋ Cancer.

Distance to Moon 402 370 km

The Moon is 402 370 km (250 021 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 751 km (251 501 mi).

Moon before ascending node

9 days after descending node on 18 April 2093 at 13:39 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 May 2093 at 12:02 in ♋ Cancer.

Draconic month

23 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon before northern standstill

11 days since the previous standstill on 17 April 2093 at 04:44 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-21.301°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.429° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 May 2093 at 00:13 in ♋ Cancer.

Syzygy in 12 days

In 12 days on 11 May 2093 at 02:17 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
