Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1961" and ∠1916".
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2094 after 22 days on 30 April 2094 at 13:54.
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 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1165 of Meeus index or 2118 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠24.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠45.7°.
12 days after point of apogee on 27 March 2094 at 05:18 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 12 April 2094 at 03:26 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 365 570 km (227 155 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 456 km (227 084 mi).
1 day after descending node on 7 April 2094 at 19:27 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 20 April 2094 at 16:57 in ♋ Cancer.
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
1 day since the previous standstill on 7 April 2094 at 19:58 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.963°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.077° at the point of next northern standstill on 20 April 2094 at 20:13 in ♋ Cancer.
In 6 days on 15 April 2094 at 01:37 in ♈ Aries 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.
