Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 23 October 2035 at 20:57.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1927" and ∠1930".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2035 after 20 days on 15 November 2035 at 13:49.
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.
The Moon is 24 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 442 of Meeus index or 1395 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 52 minutes. It is 2 hours and 47 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 8 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 55 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠75°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠110.7°.
5 days after point of perigee on 20 October 2035 at 19:38 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 5 November 2035 at 15:01 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 371 965 km (231 128 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 052 km (251 688 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♍ Virgo at 07:11 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 9 November 2035 at 14:55 in ♒ Aquarius.
At 07:11 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
4 days since the previous standstill on 22 October 2035 at 04:59 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.978°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.089° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 November 2035 at 23:10 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 4 days on 31 October 2035 at 02:59 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
