Moon phase and lunation details

4 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 24 November 2032 at 22:48.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Moon in ♎ Libra

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 apogee

3 days after point of apogee on 25 November 2032 at 14:16 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 December 2032 at 19:18 in ♒ Aquarius.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 398 503 km

The Moon is 398 503 km (247 618 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 9 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 370 105 km (229 973 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon is in ascending node in ♎ Libra at 16:30 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 12 December 2032 at 17:34 in ♈ Aries.

New draconic month

At 16:30 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.

Moon before southern standstill

10 days since the previous standstill on 19 November 2032 at 06:10 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.095°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.128° at the point of next southern standstill on 3 December 2032 at 17:02 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 3 days

In 3 days on 2 December 2032 at 20:53 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.
