Waning Gibbous on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 16 days old.
The 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.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 19 February 2095 at 06:59.
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2095 after 28 days on 21 March 2095 at 01:10.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1940".
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1176 of Meeus index or 2129 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 10 minutes and it is 1 hour and 13 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 2 hours and 34 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 35 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠337.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠354°.
14 days since point of perigee on 6 February 2095 at 05:16 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 day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 21 February 2095 at 16:10 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 405 176 km (251 765 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 233 km (252 421 mi).
6 days after ascending node on 14 February 2095 at 01:55 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 28 February 2095 at 16:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 15 February 2095 at 05:25 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.215° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.337° at the point of next southern standstill on 1 March 2095 at 21:20 in ♑ Capricorn.
6 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♊ Gemini the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
In 13 days on 6 March 2095 at 07:39 in ♓ Pisces 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.
