visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after
midnight.

Moon is passing about ∠8° of Capricorn tropical zodiac
sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠ 1794"

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 16 / 969
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 16 of Meeus index or 969 from Brown
series.

$ Previous | Current | Next %

Synodic month length 29.47 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and
20 minutes. It is 2 hours and 8 minutes longer than the next
lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic
months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly
getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon
at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and
24 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It
is 4 hours and 45 minutes longer compared to 21st
century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on 11

May 2001 Friday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 267.3°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is
∠267.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true
anomaly is going to be ∠299.7°.

Moon before perigee

9 days after point of perigee on 2 May 2001 at 03:37 in
Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is
moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over
the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next
apogee on 15 May 2001 at 01:29 in Aquarius.

$ Previous perigee | Next apogee %

Distance to Moon 399 630 km

The Moon is 399 630 km (248 319 mi) away from Earth and
getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee
when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 141 km
(251 122 mi).

Moon in descending node

Moon is in descending node in Capricorn at 11:02
crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending
node 14 days later on 25 May 2001 at 13:51 in Gemini.

Draconic month
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in
Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the
last part of the cycle.

Moon at southern standstill

At 20:26 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach
South declination of ∠-23.329°. Over the next 14 days the
lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum
declination of ∠23.388° at the point of next standstill in
Cancer on 25 May 2001 at 23:03.

$ Previous standstill | Next standstill %

Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 23 May 2001 at 02:46 in Gemini 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.
