Moon phase and lunation details

2 days after First Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 2 days on 9 November 2024 at 05:56.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.

Moon in ♓ Pisces

Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1963"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1963" and ∠1939".

Beaver Moon after 4 days

Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2024 after 4 days on 15 November 2024 at 21:29.

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 307 / 1260

The Moon is 10 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 307 of Meeus index or 1260 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.73 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 34 minutes. It is 1 hour and 29 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 4 hours and 50 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 13 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠204.3°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠204.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠235.3°.

Moon before apogee

12 days after point of apogee on 29 October 2024 at 22:50 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 November 2024 at 11:18 in ♉ Taurus.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 365 093 km

The Moon is 365 093 km (226 858 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 110 km (223 762 mi).

Moon before ascending node

12 days after descending node on 29 October 2024 at 17:44 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 12 November 2024 at 15:59 in ♓ Pisces.

Draconic month

26 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon after southern standstill

5 days since the previous standstill on 5 November 2024 at 17:18 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.578°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.522° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 November 2024 at 10:22 in ♋ Cancer.

Syzygy in 4 days

In 4 days on 15 November 2024 at 21:29 in ♉ Taurus 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.
