![]() ![]() The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 13 March 2012 at 20:41 in ♐ Sagittarius.Ģ5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle. Moon before ascending nodeġ1 days after descending node on 29 February 2012 at 22:37 in ♊ Gemini. ![]() The Moon is 363 480 km ( 225 856 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 13 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 780 km ( 252 140 mi). ![]() Previous perigee | Next apogee Distance to Moon 363 480 km It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 26 March 2012 at 06:04 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. Moon after perigeeĢ days after point of perigee on 10 March 2012 at 10:02 in ♎ Libra. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠142.2°. It is 3 hours and 44 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.Īt the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠107.8°. The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 18 minutes longer than the mean synodic month 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°). It is 38 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 3 minutes. Previous | Current lunation | Next Synodic month length 29.67 days This is lunation 150 of Meeus index or 1103 from Brown series. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
