Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
6 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 6 days on 10 December 2034 at 20:14.
Cold Moon after 7 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2034 after 7 days on 25 December 2034 at 08:54.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1879"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1879" and ∠1950".
Lunation 432 / 1385
The Moon is 6 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 432 of Meeus index or 1385 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 49 minutes and it is 1 hour and 30 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 5 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 58 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠192.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠192.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠220.5°.
Moon before perigee
8 days since point of apogee on 9 December 2034 at 10:00 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 24 December 2034 at 10:34 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 381 525 km(237 069 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 118 km(222 524 mi).
Moon before descending node
14 days after ascending node on 3 December 2034 at 11:15 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 18 December 2034 at 02:21 in ♓ Pisces.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 12 December 2034 at 00:24 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.553° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.552° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 December 2034 at 08:20 in ♋ Cancer.
In 7 days on 25 December 2034 at 08:54 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
