Moon phase and lunation details

3 days after Full Moon


Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 21 December 2010 at 08:13.

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 Leo
Moon is passing about ∠14° of Leo tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠ 1953"


Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1953" and ∠1951".

Cold Moon before 3 days


Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2011 after 26 days on 19 January 2011 at 21:21.

Upcoming main Moon phases


Last Quarter in Libra after 3 days on 28 December 2010 at 04:18

New Moon in Capricorn after 10 days on 4 January 2011 at 09:03

First Quarter in Aries after 18 days on 12 January 2011 at 11:31

Full Moon in Cancer after 26 days on 19 January 2011 at 21:21

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 135 / 1088


The Moon is 18 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 135
of Meeus index or 1088 from Brown series.

 Previous | Current lunation | Next 

Synodic month length 29.64 days


The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 27 minutes. It is 2 hours and 1 minute 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 2 hours and 43 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and
20 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on 24 December 2010 Friday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 67°


At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠67°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be
∠103.5°.

Moon before apogee


11 days after point of apogee on 13 December 2010 at 08:34 in Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving
towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 25 December 2010 at
12:24 in Leo.

 Previous apogee | Next perigee 

Distance to Moon 367 079 km


The Moon is 367 079 km (228 092 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon
distance is going to be 368 463 km (228 952 mi).

Moon after descending node


2 days after descending node on 21 December 2010 at 14:08 in Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following
10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 3 January 2011 at 12:48 in Capricorn.

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

Moon after northern standstill


3 days since the previous standstill on 20 December 2010 at 12:37 in Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of
∠24.238°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.242° at the point of next
southern standstill on 2 January 2011 at 10:06 in Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 10 days
In 10 days on 4 January 2011 at 09:03 in Capricorn 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.
