Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 5 November 2025 at 13:19.

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 in ♊ Gemini

Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1968"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1968" and ∠1937".

Beaver Moon before 1 day

Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2025 after 27 days on 4 December 2025 at 23:14.

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 319 / 1272

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 319 of Meeus index or 1272 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.77 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes. It is 34 minutes shorter 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 38 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 25 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠156.8°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠156.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠181.4°.

Moon after perigee

1 day after point of perigee on 5 November 2025 at 22:29 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 20 November 2025 at 02:48 in ♏ Scorpio.

Previous perigeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 364 176 km

The Moon is 364 176 km (226 288 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 693 km (252 707 mi).

Moon after ascending node

5 days after ascending node on 1 November 2025 at 17:46 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 14 November 2025 at 06:38 in ♍ Virgo.

Draconic month

5 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 before northern standstill

11 days since the previous standstill on 26 October 2025 at 12:50 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.457°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠28.387° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 November 2025 at 11:41 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 12 days

In 12 days on 20 November 2025 at 06:47 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
