First Quarter is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 55% and growing larger. The 8 days young Moon is in ♊ Gemini.
* The exact date and time of this First Quarter phase is on 13 March 2095 at 00:18 UTC.
Moon rises at noon and sets at midnight. It is visible high in the southern sky in early evening.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1867" and ∠1930".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2095 after 7 days on 21 March 2095 at 01:10.
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.
The Moon is 8 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1177 of Meeus index or 2130 from Brown series.
Length of current 1177 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 57 minutes. It is 27 minutes longer than next lunation 1178 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 47 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 22 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠354°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠9.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
6 days after point of perigee on 6 March 2095 at 16:04 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 20 March 2095 at 17:48 in ♍ Virgo.
Moon is 383 895 km (238 541 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 502 km (252 589 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♊ Gemini at 02:33 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 14 days to meet descending node on 27 March 2095 at 18:10 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 02:33 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
11 days after previous South standstill on 1 March 2095 at 21:20 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-24.337°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠24.438° in the next northern standstill on 14 March 2095 at 10:35 in ♋ Cancer.
After 7 days on 21 March 2095 at 01:10 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
