Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 6 November 2033 at 20:32.
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 ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1847"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1847" and ∠1939".

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 418 / 1371
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 418 of Meeus index or 1371 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.76 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 11 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2033. It is 1 hour and 4 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 5 hours and 27 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 36 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠190.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠190.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠217.2°.
Moon before perigee
6 days after point of perigee on 5 November 2033 at 23:57 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 18 November 2033 at 10:41 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 388 145 km
The Moon is 388 145 km (241 182 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 836 km (252 175 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 4 November 2033 at 16:35 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 18 November 2033 at 00:01 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
21 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 9 November 2033 at 16:57 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.369°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.438° at the point of next southern standstill on 24 November 2033 at 06:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 9 days
In 9 days on 22 November 2033 at 01:39 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.
