Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 24 November 2007 at 14:30.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Moon is entering ♋ Cancer

Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1943"

Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1943" and ∠1944".

Beaver Moon before 1 day

Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2007 after 27 days on 24 December 2007 at 01:16.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

Lunation 97 / 1050

The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 97 of Meeus index or 1050 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.78 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 37 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2007. It is 40 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 5 hours and 53 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 10 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠183.8°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠183.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠209.6°.

Moon after perigee

2 days after point of perigee on 24 November 2007 at 00:12 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 December 2007 at 16:54 in ♏ Scorpio.

Previous perigeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 368 931 km

The Moon is 368 931 km (229 243 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 235 km (252 423 mi).

Moon before descending node

7 days after ascending node on 18 November 2007 at 12:46 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 30 November 2007 at 23:09 in ♌ Leo.

Draconic month

7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon at northern standstill

At 03:58 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.958°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.906° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 10 December 2007 at 09:41.

Syzygy in 13 days

In 13 days on 9 December 2007 at 17:40 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
