Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2015 after 14 days on 25 November 2015 at 22:44.
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 ∠1789" and ∠1938".
New lunation 196 / 1149
At 17:47 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 196 of Meeus index or lunation 1149 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 42 minutes. It is 1 hour and 41 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 3 hours and 58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 5 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠220.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠220.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠255.6°.
Moon after apogee
3 days since point of apogee on 7 November 2015 at 21:48 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 23 November 2015 at 20:06 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 400 687 km(248 975 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 818 km(225 445 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 7 November 2015 at 15:53 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 21 November 2015 at 13:56 in ♓ Pisces.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 31 October 2015 at 09:02 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.241° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.331° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 November 2015 at 00:39 in ♑ Capricorn.
