Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 2 days on 23 January 2094 at 11:34.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1837" and ∠1949".
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2094 after 6 days on 31 January 2094 at 12:36.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1163 of Meeus index or 2116 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 38 minutes. It is 37 minutes longer 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 3 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠352.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠7.9°.
8 days after point of perigee on 17 January 2094 at 05:33 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 31 January 2094 at 11:51 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 390 242 km (242 485 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 394 km (252 522 mi).
9 days after descending node on 16 January 2094 at 02:40 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 January 2094 at 09:03 in ♋ Cancer.
23 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
9 days since the previous standstill on 15 January 2094 at 19:36 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.474°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.474° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 January 2094 at 23:58 in ♋ Cancer.
In 6 days on 31 January 2094 at 12:36 in ♌ Leo 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.
