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 ∠24° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1938".
Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2034 after 14 days on 25 November 2034 at 22:32.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 19 November 2034 at 04:01
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 25 November 2034 at 22:32
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 2 December 2034 at 16:46
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 10 December 2034 at 20:14
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 431 / 1384
At 01:16 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 431 of Meeus index or 1384 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.79 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 58 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2034. It is 9 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 6 hours and 14 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 49 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠168.1°
The true anomaly is ∠168.1°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠192.5°.
Moon before perigee
14 days after point of perigee on 28 October 2034 at 10:16 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 12 November 2034 at 09:37 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 405 303 km
The Moon is 405 303 km (251 844 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 644 km (252 677 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 6 November 2034 at 10:15 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 21 November 2034 at 00:41 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, 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 31 October 2034 at 08:54 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.332°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.431° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 November 2034 at 17:11 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.
