Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2014 after 14 days on 6 November 2014 at 22:23.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1818" and ∠1929".
New lunation 183 / 1136
At 21:57 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 183 of Meeus index or lunation 1136 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 36 minutes. It is 1 hour and 32 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 52 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 11 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠252.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠252.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠289.3°.
Moon after apogee
5 days since point of apogee on 18 October 2014 at 06:05 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 November 2014 at 00:21 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 394 236 km(244 967 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 871 km(228 584 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♎ Libra at 00:46 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next descending node later on 5 November 2014 at 03:13 in ♈ Aries.
9 days since the last northern standstill on 13 October 2014 at 13:34 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.517° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.539° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 October 2014 at 01:03 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 00:46 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
