Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 24 November 2026 at 14:53.
Beaver Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2026 after 24 days on 24 December 2026 at 01:28.
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 ∠1954"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1954" and ∠1945".
Lunation 332 / 1285
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 332 of Meeus index or 1285 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 50 minutes and it is 1 hour and 43 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 5 hours and 6 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 57 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠129.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠129.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.4°.
Moon after perigee
3 days since point of perigee on 25 November 2026 at 20:58 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 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 December 2026 at 06:46 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 366 890 km(227 975 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 421 km(252 538 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 17 November 2026 at 11:49 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 30 November 2026 at 03:34 in ♌ Leo.
3 days since the last northern standstill on 26 November 2026 at 02:01 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.645° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.602° at the point of next southern standstill on 9 December 2026 at 15:27 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 9 days on 9 December 2026 at 00:52 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.
