Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1917" and ∠1940".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2001 after 16 days on 30 November 2001 at 20:49.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 22 of Meeus index or 975 from Brown series.
Length of current 22 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 17 minutes. It is 2 hours and 50 minutes shorter than next lunation 23 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 27 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 42 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠30.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠53.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
2 days after point of perigee on 11 November 2001 at 17:37 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 23 November 2001 at 15:46 in ♓ Pisces.

9 days after its ascending node on 4 November 2001 at 23:58 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 17 November 2001 at 19:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.

8 days after previous North standstill on 6 November 2001 at 00:19 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠24.154°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.211° in the next southern standstill on 18 November 2001 at 22:30 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 1 day on 15 November 2001 at 06:40 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
