Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1780"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1780" and ∠1951".
It is Wolf Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Wolf of January 2094.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Libra ♎ on 9 January 2094 at 21:36
- New Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 16 January 2094 at 19:05
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 23 January 2094 at 11:34
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 31 January 2094 at 12:36
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 1162 / 2115
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1162 of Meeus index or 2115 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.47 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 18 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2094. It is 40 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 43 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠335.6°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠335.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠352.5°.
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of perigee on 19 December 2093 at 18:42 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 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 4 January 2094 at 09:27 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 402 629 km
The Moon is 402 629 km (250 182 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 096 km (252 336 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 19 December 2093 at 15:25 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 January 2094 at 02:47 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
26 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 at northern standstill
At 17:59 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.474°. This is the year's northernmost lunar standstill of 2094. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.474° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 15 January 2094 at 19:36.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
