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 430 / 1383
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 430 of Meeus index or 1383 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.74 days
Length of current 430 lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 44 minutes. It is 1 hour and 14 minutes shorter than next lunation 431 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 3 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠141.4°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠141.4°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠168.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of apogee on 16 October 2034 at 00:06 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 28 October 2034 at 10:16 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 365 200 km
Moon is 365 200 km (226 925 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 119 km (222 525 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after its descending node on 24 October 2034 at 18:23 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 6 November 2034 at 10:15 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
17 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
9 days after previous South standstill on 18 October 2034 at 10:02 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.265°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.332° in the next northern standstill on 31 October 2034 at 08:54 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
