Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 14 November 2027 at 03:26.
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 is passing about ∠7° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1942".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2027 after 24 days on 13 December 2027 at 16:09.
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.
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 344 of Meeus index or 1297 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
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 is at perigee at 00:10. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 6 November 2027 at 11:37 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 4 December 2027 at 08:42 in ♒ Aquarius.
This perigee Moon is 369 356 km (229 507 mi) away from Earth. It is 6 848 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 1 000 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in descending node in ♌ Leo at 08:34 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 2 December 2027 at 19:38 in ♑ Capricorn.
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
3 days since the previous standstill on 16 November 2027 at 07:40 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.619°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.574° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 November 2027 at 09:10 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 8 days on 28 November 2027 at 03:24 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.
