Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♉ Taurus
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1887"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1887" and ∠1940".
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2027.

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 344 / 1297
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 344 of Meeus index or 1297 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.58 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 48 minutes. It is 3 hours shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 1 hour and 4 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 59 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠61.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠61.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠96°.
Moon before apogee
8 days after point of apogee on 6 November 2027 at 11:37 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 19 November 2027 at 00:10 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 379 929 km
The Moon is 379 929 km (236 077 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 356 km (229 507 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 5 November 2027 at 16:54 in ♒ Aquarius. 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 19 November 2027 at 08:34 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on 2 November 2027 at 01:17 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.700°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠26.619° at the point of next northern standstill on 16 November 2027 at 07:40 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
