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 ∠15° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1786" and ∠1932".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2100 after 15 days on 26 March 2100 at 01:05.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 19 March 2100 at 02:58
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 26 March 2100 at 01:05
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 1 April 2100 at 16:35
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 9 April 2100 at 16:16
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 1239 / 2192
At 22:29 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1239 of Meeus index or 2192 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.74 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 48 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2100. It is 1 hour and 11 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 4 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 59 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠151.4°
The true anomaly is ∠151.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠176.6°.
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of perigee on 26 February 2100 at 05:17 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 13 March 2100 at 21:09 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 401 331 km
The Moon is 401 331 km (249 376 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 110 km (252 345 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♓ Pisces at 16:27 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 24 March 2100 at 20:18 in ♍ Virgo.
New draconic month
At 16:27 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 4 March 2100 at 09:17 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.575°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.566° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 March 2100 at 01:51 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
