Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
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 ∠15° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1827" and ∠1935".
Beaver Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2032 after 13 days on 17 November 2032 at 06:42.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 10 November 2032 at 11:33
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 17 November 2032 at 06:42
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 24 November 2032 at 22:48

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 406 / 1359
At 05:45 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 406 of Meeus index or 1359 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.63 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 8 minutes. It is 1 hour and 44 minutes longer 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 24 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 39 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠248.6°
The true anomaly is ∠248.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠286.1°.
Moon after apogee
5 days after point of apogee on 28 October 2032 at 18:22 in ♌ Leo. 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 13 November 2032 at 15:20 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 392 307 km
The Moon is 392 307 km (243 768 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 372 km (228 274 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 2 November 2032 at 09:04 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 15 November 2032 at 12:07 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
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.
Moon before southern standstill
11 days since the previous standstill on 22 October 2032 at 20:01 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.051°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.070° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 November 2032 at 09:19 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.
