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 88 / 1041
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is
moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic
month. This is lunation 88 of Meeus index or 1041 from
Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.44 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and
28 minutes. It is 1 hour and 35 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 2 hours and
16 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It

11 days after ascending node on 18 February 2007 at
20:43 in Pisces. The Moon is located north of the
ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses

Moon after northern standstill

4 days since the previous standstill on 25 February 2007 at
23:35 in Gemini when the Moon has reached North
declination of ∠28.600°, the lunar orbit is extending
southward over the next 10 days to face maximum
declination of ∠-28.608° at the point of next southern
standstill on 12 March 2007 at 16:11 in Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 3 March 2007 at 23:17 in Virgo 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.
