Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1936".
Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2029 after 14 days on 21 November 2029 at 04:03.

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 369 / 1322
At 04:24 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 369 of Meeus index or 1322 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.44 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 28 minutes. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 16 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 53 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠3.8°
The true anomaly is ∠3.8°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠19.9°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 5 November 2029 at 23:09 in ♏ Scorpio. 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 19 November 2029 at 02:53 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 363 644 km
The Moon is 363 644 km (225 958 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 241 km (252 426 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 27 October 2029 at 05:23 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 November 2029 at 23:44 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 26 October 2029 at 12:40 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.659°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-23.613° at the point of next southern standstill on 8 November 2029 at 11:00 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
