Moon phase and lunation details

3 days after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 10 November 2030 at 03:30.

Moonrise and moonset

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 in ♊ Gemini

Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1769"

Lunar disc appears visually 9.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1939".

Beaver Moon before 3 days

Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2030 after 26 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

Lunation 381 / 1334

The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 381 of Meeus index or 1334 from Brown series.

PreviousCurrent lunationNext

Synodic month length 29.44 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes. It is 16 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 15 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 55 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠332.4°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠332.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠349.8°.

Moon at apogee

Moon is at apogee at 05:00. It is 15 days after previous perigee on 28 October 2030 at 12:07 in ♏ Scorpio. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next perigee on 25 November 2030 at 21:07 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Previous perigeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 405 993 km

This apogee Moon is 405 993 km (252 272 mi) away from Earth. It is 585 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 716 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.

Moon after descending node

1 day after descending node on 11 November 2030 at 18:45 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 25 November 2030 at 13:32 in ♏ Scorpio.

Draconic month

15 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 after northern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 12 November 2030 at 16:17 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.904°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-21.903° at the point of next southern standstill on 26 November 2030 at 06:20 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 11 days

In 11 days on 25 November 2030 at 06:46 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.
