Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♉ Taurus
Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1892"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1892" and ∠1941".
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2032.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 24 November 2032 at 22:48
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 2 December 2032 at 20:53
- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 9 December 2032 at 19:09

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 406 / 1359
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is 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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠248.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠286.1°.
Moon after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 13 November 2032 at 15:20 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 November 2032 at 14:16 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 378 770 km
The Moon is 378 770 km (235 357 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 371 km (251 264 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 15 November 2032 at 12:07 in ♉ Taurus. 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 29 November 2032 at 16:30 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
11 days since the previous standstill on 6 November 2032 at 09:19 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.070°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠19.095° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 November 2032 at 06:10 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
