New Moon at Apogee (New Micromoon): 1701 to 1800
Greenwich Mean Time
Introduction
The Moon revolves around Earth in an elliptical orbit with a mean eccentricity of 0.0549. As a result, the Moon’s distance from Earth (center-to-center) varies with mean values of 363,396 km at perigee (closest) to 405,504 km at apogee (most distant).
When either the New Moon or Full Moon phase occurs near perigee (within 90% of its closest distance to Earth in a given orbit), the Moon subtends its largest apparent diameter as seen from Earth. This phenomenon, referred to as a perigee syzygy or perigee New/Full Moon, is popularly known as a supermoon. (see New Supermoons by Century and Full Supermoons by Century).
In contrast to the supermoon there is the micromoon.. When either the New Moon or Full Moon phase occurs near apogee (within 90% of its greatest distance to Earth in a given orbit), the Moon subtends its smallest apparent diameter as seen from Earth. This phenomenon, referred to as a apogee syzygy or apogee New/Full Moon, is popularly known as a micromoon. Using the definition above and applying it to the Moon's mean apogee and perigee distances results in a mean limiting distance of 401,293 km for a micromoon.
Apparent Size of Moon: Perigee & Apogee
Although the Moon's apparent size varies by 14%, this is too small to easily see with the naked eye.
The Moon's actual distances at apogee and perigee can vary several percent due to the gravitaional perturbations of the Sun on the Moon's eccentric orbit. Over the 5000-year period from -1999 to 3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE), the distance of the Moon's perigee varies from 356,355 to 370,399 km (a range of 13,984 km) while the Moon's apogee varies from 404,042 to 406,725 km (a range of 2,683 km) (Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses, Espenak and Meeus, 2021). Because of this, the limiting distance for a supermoon depends on the exact distances of apogee and perigee within a given orbit.
Surprisingly, there are frequently two or three new micromoons (out of a possible 12-13 New Moons) each year. The proximity of the New Moon to apogee is not that rare. The farthest New Moons (within a few hours of apogee) recur with a cycle of 14 synodic months, because 14 synodic months nearly equals 15 anomalistic months. A synodic month is the time between successive New Moons, and has a mean length of 29.53059 days. An anomalistic month is the time between successive lunar orbits with respect to perigee, and has a mean length of 27.55455 days. The relationship between the synodic and anomalistic months can be seen as follows:
14 synodic months = 14 x 29.53059 days = 413.428 days
15 anomalistic months = 15 x 27.55455 days = 413.318 days
Distance of New and Full Moon: 2022 - 2023
The distance of every New and Full Moon is plotted for the years 2022 through 2023.
The 14 synodic month cycle is clearly revealed in the distances of the New and Full Moon.
Also plotted are varying distances of Apogee and Perigee during this period.
Using the plot above, it's clear that full supermoons are often preceeded or followed two weeks by a new micromoon. Similarly, full micromoons are often preceeded or followed two weeks by a new supermoon. This happens because the Moon's line of apsides (axis between perigee and apogee) is then pointing towards the Sun.
Some of the farthest New Moon apogees of the century can be found at Farthest New Moon Apogees. It includes all events with a New Moon distance of 406,300 km or more. The extreme distance New Moon apogees are listed at Ultimate New Moon Apogees. This includes all events with a New Moon distance of 406,400 km or more.
Tides
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon are responsible for producing Earth's ocean tides. The highest tides and largest tidal ranges (difference between high and low tide) occur around New Moon and Full Moon. At that time, the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun combine to pull the ocean’s water in the same direction (the Sun's gravitational influence is typically about half as strong as the Moon's). Such New/Full Moon tides are called spring tides.
Supermoons lead to around 5 cm (2 inches) larger variation than regular spring tides, called perigean spring tides. This is because the Moon is near its closest distance to Earth so its gravitational pull is at a maximum. (See: Tides, and the pull of the Moon and the Sun)
Although supermoons can produce higher tides, the difference in the Moon's gravitational force at the closest perigee is only 4% greater than at the Moon's mean distance. This small amount is hardly enough to account for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that are sometimes linked erroneously to supermoons. (See: Supermoon: Fact and Fiction)
Supermoon/Micromoon Media Hype
In recent years it has become popular for the media to sensationalize the occurence of each supermoon (and to a lesser extent, micromoon). Promises are made that a particular Full Moon will be the biggest and brightest of the year "So don't miss it!". (See: Supermoon Overplayed by the News Media)
While such claims may be technically accurate, can you actually see any difference between a supermoon and an "average Moon"? It's very unlikely, especially since you can't compare them side-by-side. But the power of suggestion can convince some people into believing "It's the biggest Moon I've ever seen!". (See: The Moon Illusion)
On the plus side, any publicity that gets people to look up at the night sky is a good thing. Just don't be misled by exaggerated hype.
Is It a Micromoon?
Determining whether a particular New Moon is a Micromoon requires three geocentric distances:
- Distance of the New Moon (Dm)
- Distance of the Immediately Preceding or Succeeding Apogee (Da)
- Distance of the Immediately Preceding or Succeeding Perigee (Dp)
For example, can the New Moon of 2030 Jun 30 be considered a New Micromoon? Using data from Perigee and Apogee and Moon Phases, we have:
- New Moon of 2030 Jun 30: Distance (Dm) = 401773 km
- Apogee of 2030 Jun 27: Distance (Da) = 405881 km
- Perigee of 2030 Jul 13: Distance (Dp) = 361792 km
- The distance between apogee and perigee: Da - Dp = 405881 - 361792 = 44089 km
- The distance between perigee and the New Moon: Dm - Dp = 401773 - 361792 = 39981 km
- Finally, the relative distance of the New Moon from perigee to apogee:
(Dm - Dp) / (Da - Dp) = 39981 / 44089 = 0.9068
New Micromoon Table Description
The table below gives the date and time (Greenwich Mean Time) of all New Moon near Apogee (apogee syzygy or new micromoon) for the century ( 1701 to 1800 ). For conversion to other time zones, see Time Zones and Universal Time.
The date and time of New Moon is given in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). A letter following the date indicates that a solar eclipse occurs (T and P correspond to total and partial solar eclipses, respectively).
Distance is the geocentric distance of the Moon (in kilometers) at New Moon. An 'M' after the distance indicates the farthest New Moon apogee syzygy of the year.
Diameter is the geocentric apparent diameter of the Moon (in arc-minutes) at New Moon.
Relative Distance expresses the fractional distance of the New Moon (Dm) with respect to apogee (Da) and perigee (Dp) distances of that current orbit:
Relative Distance = (Dm - Dp)/(Da - Dp)
The Relative Distance is equal to 1.0 when New Moon occurs at apogee, and 0.0 when New Moon occurs at perigee.
Any New Moon occurring at a Relative Distance of 0.9 or greater is by definition a micromoon.
The date and time (GST) of the nearest apogee is given under Apogee. Finally, ΔApogee gives the time difference (in days) between the instants of apogee and New Moon. Note that the New Moon occurs within 2 days of apogee for most micromoons.
For New Moons at Apogee from 1501 through 2500, see New Micromoons by Century.
For Full Moons at Apogee from 1501 through 2500, see Full Micromoons by Century.
