Waning Gibbous is the lunar phase on 31
January 2005, Monday. Seen from Earth,
illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is
69% and getting smaller. The 20 days old
Moon is in Libra.

6 days after Full Moon


Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon
before 6 days on 25 January 2005 at 10:32.

Moonrise and moonset


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.

Moon in Libra
Moon is passing about ∠20° of Libra
tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter


∠ 1869"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% narrower
than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent
angular diameters are ∠1869" and ∠1947".

Wolf Moon before 6 days


Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February
2005 after 23 days on 24 February 2005 at
04:54.

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.

Lunation 62 / 1015
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural
satellite is moving from the middle to the last
part of current synodic month. This is lunation
62 of Meeus index or 1015 from Brown series.

 Previous | Current | Next 

Synodic month length 29.43


days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours
and 25 minutes. This is the year's shortest
synodic month of 2005. It is 17 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 19 minutes shorter than the
mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and
50 minutes longer compared to 21st century's
shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on


31 January 2005
Monday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 1.4°


At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true
anomaly is ∠1.4°. At the beginning of next
synodic month the true anomaly is going to be
∠17.1°.

Moon before apogee


7 days after point of apogee on
23 January 2005 at 18:54 in Cancer. 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
7 February 2005 at 22:09 in Capricorn.

Distance to Moon
383 573 km
The Moon is 383 573 km (238 341 mi) away
from Earth and getting closer over the next
7 days until the point perigee when Earth-
Moon distance is going to be 358 564 km
(222 801 mi).

Moon in descending node


Moon is in descending node in Libra at
22:49 crossing the ecliptic from North to
South to meet ascending node 12 days later
on 13 February 2005 at 10:25 in Aries.

Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current
draconic month in Aries, the Moon is
navigating from the second to the final part of
the cycle.

Moon before southern


standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on
22 January 2005 at 19:22 in Gemini when
the Moon has reached North declination of
∠27.973°, the lunar orbit is extending
southward over the next 5 days to face
maximum declination of ∠-28.071° at the
point of next southern standstill on
5 February 2005 at 21:10 in Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 8 days
In 8 days on 8 February 2005 at 22:28 in
Aquarius 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.
