Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♎ Libra later.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 8 November 2001 at 12:21.
Beaver Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2001 after 19 days on 30 November 2001 at 20:49.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1967"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1938".
Lunation 22 / 975
The Moon is 25 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 22 of Meeus index or 975 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 17 minutes and it is 2 hours and 50 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 27 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 42 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠30.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠30.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠53.5°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 17:37 about 15 days since last apogee on 26 October 2001 at 20:12 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 23 November 2001 at 15:46 in ♓ Pisces.
This perigee Moon is 367 259 km(228 204 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 751 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 3 097 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
6 days after ascending node on 4 November 2001 at 23:58 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 17 November 2001 at 19:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 6 November 2001 at 00:19 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.154° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.211° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 November 2001 at 22:30 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 3 days on 15 November 2001 at 06:40 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
