Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 26 December 2095 at 18:24.
Wolf Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2096 after 11 days on 9 January 2096 at 19:20.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1891"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1891" and ∠1951".
Lunation 1187 / 2140
The Moon is 3 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1187 of Meeus index or 2140 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 20 minutes and it is 2 hours and 36 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 36 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 27 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠255°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠255° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠291.7°.
Moon before perigee
8 days since point of apogee on 20 December 2095 at 23:26 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 5 January 2096 at 18:18 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 379 143 km(235 589 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 290 km(228 845 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 24 December 2095 at 17:49 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 6 January 2096 at 23:04 in ♊ Gemini.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 27 December 2095 at 03:42 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.640° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.638° at the point of next northern standstill on 9 January 2096 at 02:58 in ♋ Cancer.
In 11 days on 9 January 2096 at 19:20 in ♋ Cancer 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.
