Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99%. The lunar cycle is 15 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 1 January 2094 at 16:51 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Wolf of January 2094.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1772" and ∠1951".
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1162 of Meeus index or 2115 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 18 minutes and it is 40 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2094. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
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.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠335.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠352.5°.
13 days since 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 day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 4 January 2094 at 09:27 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 404 460 km (251 320 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 096 km (252 336 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 02:47 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 16 January 2094 at 02:40 in ♑ Capricorn.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 1 January 2094 at 17:59 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.474° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.474° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 January 2094 at 19:36 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 02:47 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
