Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 15 November 2001 at 06:40.
Beaver Moon after 10 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2001 after 10 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 ∠1790"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1790" and ∠1942".
Lunation 23 / 976
The Moon is 5 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 23 of Meeus index or 976 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 7 minutes and it is 2 hours and 34 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 23 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 40 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠53.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠53.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠86.2°.
Moon before apogee
8 days since point of perigee on 11 November 2001 at 17:37 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 November 2001 at 15:46 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 400 324 km(248 750 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 396 km(251 280 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 17 November 2001 at 19:51 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 2 December 2001 at 05:30 in ♊ Gemini.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 18 November 2001 at 22:30 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.211° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.246° at the point of next northern standstill on 3 December 2001 at 06:54 in ♋ Cancer.
In 10 days on 30 November 2001 at 20:49 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
