Waning Gibbous on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 16 days old.
The moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 15 November 2035 at 13:49.
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2035 after 28 days on 15 December 2035 at 00:33.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1953" and ∠1941".
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 443 of Meeus index or 1396 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 39 minutes and it is 2 hours and 14 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 3 hours and 55 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 8 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠110.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠144.1°.
10 days since point of apogee on 5 November 2035 at 15:01 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 November 2035 at 11:30 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 367 006 km (228 047 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 943 km (224 901 mi).
6 days after descending node on 9 November 2035 at 14:55 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 22 November 2035 at 07:40 in ♍ Virgo.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 4 November 2035 at 23:10 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.089° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.182° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 November 2035 at 12:52 in ♋ Cancer.
21 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♍ Virgo the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
In 13 days on 29 November 2035 at 19:38 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
