Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 21 November 2029 at 04:03.
Beaver Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2029 after 27 days on 20 December 2029 at 22:46.
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 ∠1800"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1800" and ∠1944".
Lunation 369 / 1322
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 369 of Meeus index or 1322 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 28 minutes and it is 1 hour and 29 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 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 details for
True anomaly ∠3.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠3.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠19.9°.
Moon after apogee
4 days since point of apogee on 19 November 2029 at 02:53 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 December 2029 at 10:38 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 398 194 km(247 426 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 274 km(223 243 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♊ Gemini at 08:55 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 6 December 2029 at 09:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 22 November 2029 at 17:59 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.573° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.574° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 December 2029 at 21:50 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 12 days on 5 December 2029 at 14:52 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.
