A full Moon rises as the Sun sets and sets as it rises, which is the check anyone can make without an almanac: on this date the Moon rises at 5:44 PM against a sunset of 6:13 PM, and sets at 6:18 AM against a sunrise of 6:57 AM. The tithi ends at 21 Feb, 4:54 AM — the instant the Moon is exactly 180° from the Sun.

This tithi touches no sunrise at all
