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 ∠3° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1944".
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2034.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 2 December 2034 at 16:46
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 10 December 2034 at 20:14
- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 18 December 2034 at 17:45
- Full Moon in Cancer ♋ on 25 December 2034 at 08:54
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 431 / 1384
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is 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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠168.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠192.5°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 22:06. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 12 November 2034 at 09:37 in ♐ Sagittarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next apogee on 9 December 2034 at 10:00 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 356 448 km
This perigee Moon is 356 448 km (221 487 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2034. It is 6 060 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 23 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 21 November 2034 at 00:41 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 3 December 2034 at 11:15 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
19 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 14 November 2034 at 17:11 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.431°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.488° at the point of next northern standstill on 27 November 2034 at 19:42 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.
