Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 25 November 2030 at 06:46.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1944".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2030 after 13 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 382 of Meeus index or 1335 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes. It is 13 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠349.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠5.3°.
1 day after point of perigee on 25 November 2030 at 21:07 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 December 2030 at 10:03 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 363 298 km (225 743 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 13 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 371 km (252 507 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 25 November 2030 at 13:32 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 9 December 2030 at 01:17 in ♊ Gemini.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
At 06:20 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-21.903°. This is the year's southernmost lunar standstill of 2030. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠21.909° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 9 December 2030 at 22:37.
In 13 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
