Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 1 January 2094 at 16:51.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1951".
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2094 after 27 days on 31 January 2094 at 12:36.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1162 of Meeus index or 2115 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
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 is at apogee at 09:27. It is 15 days after previous perigee on 19 December 2093 at 18:42 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next perigee on 17 January 2094 at 05:33 in ♒ Aquarius.
This apogee Moon is 406 096 km (252 336 mi) away from Earth. It is 688 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 613 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
2 days after ascending node on 2 January 2094 at 02:47 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 16 January 2094 at 02:40 in ♑ Capricorn.
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
2 days since the previous 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 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.474° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 January 2094 at 19:36 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 12 days on 16 January 2094 at 19:05 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
