Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 3 days on 22 February 2094 at 02:36.
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 about ∠15° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 8.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1780" and ∠1938".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2094 after 4 days on 2 March 2094 at 07:35.
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 10 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1164 of Meeus index or 2117 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 1 minute. It is 8 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 43 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 26 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠7.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠24.6°.
10 days after point of perigee on 14 February 2094 at 18:39 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 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 27 February 2094 at 15:03 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 402 601 km (250 165 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 118 km (252 350 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 12:58 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 11 March 2094 at 18:24 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 12:58 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
At 05:34 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.582°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.707° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 11 March 2094 at 14:07.
In 4 days on 2 March 2094 at 07:35 in ♍ Virgo 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.
