Which new Moon?  The New Moon of Feb 17th or the
upcoming one of Mar 19th?

Or did you mean the Full Moon of Mar 3?  (It looked new
for a while there.)

At any rate the Moon *averages*  12.190749 degrees of
daily motion and the position of the terminator is a function
of this travel.  (But not exactly because there's this problem
of Libration to contend with.)

But these things aren't difficult to "peck up" on an Excel
spread***.  So what epoch (precisely) are you curious
about?

Why not give me both?
(The preceding one and the following.) What need have you for
precision?
