Moon phase and lunation


details

4 days after First Quarter


Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter
before 4 days on 17 January 2005 at 06:58.

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 Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠19° of Gemini tropical
zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter


∠ 1781"
Lunar disc appears visually 9% narrower than solar
disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters
are ∠1781" and ∠1950".

Wolf Moon after 3 days


Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2005
after 3 days on 25 January 2005 at 10:32.

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 62 / 1015
The Moon is 11 days young. Earth's natural satellite
is moving from the first to the middle 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 21


January 2005 Friday
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 perigee


11 days after point of perigee on 10 January 2005
at 10:07 in Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting
widen, while the Moon is moving away from the
Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days,
until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on
23 January 2005 at 18:54 in Cancer.

 Previous perigee | Next apogee 

Distance to Moon 402 444 km


The Moon is 402 444 km (250 067 mi) away from
Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until
the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is
going to be 406 444 km (252 553 mi).

Moon after ascending node


4 days after ascending node on 17 January 2005
at 07:32 in Aries. The Moon is located north of
the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the
lunar orbit crosses from North to South in
descending node on 31 January 2005 at 22:49 in
Libra.

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

Moon before northern


standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on
9 January 2005 at 11:17 in Capricorn when the
Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.938°,
the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next
day to face maximum declination of ∠27.973° at
the point of next northern standstill on
22 January 2005 at 19:22 in Gemini.

Syzygy in 3 days
In 3 days on 25 January 2005 at 10:32 in Leo
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.
