Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1952" and ∠1928".
Pink Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2094 after 15 days on 1 April 2094 at 00:11.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 23 March 2094 at 20:05
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 April 2094 at 00:11
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 8 April 2094 at 08:46

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1165 / 2118
At 15:44 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1165 of Meeus index or 2118 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 53 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2094. It is 39 minutes shorter 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 18 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠24.6°
The true anomaly is ∠24.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠45.7°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 15 March 2094 at 04:25 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 27 March 2094 at 05:18 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 367 205 km
The Moon is 367 205 km (228 171 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 266 km (251 821 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 11 March 2094 at 18:24 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 24 March 2094 at 14:44 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
18 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 after southern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 11 March 2094 at 14:07 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.707°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.815° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 March 2094 at 12:07 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
