Moon phase and lunation


details

6 days after First Quarter


Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before
6 days on 19 March 2013 at 17:27.

Moonrise and moonset


Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to
early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early
evening and it is up for most of the night.

Moon in Virgo
Moon is passing about ∠25° of Virgo tropical
zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter


∠ 1875"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% narrower than solar
disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are
∠1875" and ∠1923".

Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2013 after

Moderate tide
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.

Lunation 163 / 1116


The Moon is 14 days young. Earth's natural satellite is
moving from the first to the middle part of current
synodic month. This is lunation 163 of Meeus index or
1116 from Brown series.

 Previous | Current | Next 

Synodic month length 29.57


days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and
44 minutes. It is 1 hour and 9 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 longer than


mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour
longer than the mean synodic month length. It is
6 hours and 3 minutes shorter compared to 21st
century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on 26


March 2013 Tuesday
12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 73.6°


At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly
is ∠73.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the
true anomaly is going to be ∠110.3°.

Moon before apogee


7 days after point of apogee on 19 March 2013 at
03:13 in Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting narrow,
while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will
keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the
Moon reaches the point of next perigee on
31 March 2013 at 03:55 in Sagittarius.

 Previous apogee | Next perigee 

Distance to Moon 382 328 km


The Moon is 382 328 km (237 568 mi) away from
Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the
point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to
be 367 494 km (228 350 mi).

Moon before ascending node


10 days after descending node on 16 March 2013 at
06:15 in Taurus. The Moon is located south of the
ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit
crosses from South to North in ascending node on
30 March 2013 at 05:55 in Scorpio.

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

Moon before southern standstill


7 days since the previous standstill on 18 March 2013
at 21:50 in Gemini when the Moon has reached
North declination of ∠20.335°, the lunar orbit is
extending southward over the next 6 days to face
maximum declination of ∠-20.250° at the point of next
southern standstill on 1 April 2013 at 12:03 in
Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 27 March 2013 at 09:27 in Libra 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.
