Crescent ♐ Sagittarius
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 7 January 2059 at 01:06.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1882" and ∠1951".
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2059 after 18 days on 28 January 2059 at 15:11.
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.
The Moon is 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 729 of Meeus index or 1682 from Brown series.
Length of current 729 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 45 minutes. It is 1 hour and 15 minutes longer than next lunation 730 length.
Length of current synodic month is 59 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 10 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠321.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠341.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
7 days after point of apogee on 3 January 2059 at 02:24 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 January 2059 at 06:49 in ♒ Aquarius.
Moon is 380 777 km (236 604 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 945 km (223 038 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♏ Scorpio at 18:48 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet ascending node on 23 January 2059 at 08:38 in ♊ Gemini.
14 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
11 days after previous North standstill on 29 December 2058 at 22:55 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.970°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-25.989° in the next southern standstill on 13 January 2059 at 04:35 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 3 days on 14 January 2059 at 03:57 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
