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.
Lunation 443 / 1396
The Moon is 18 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 443 of Meeus index or 1396 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.69 days
Length of current 443 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 39 minutes. It is 2 hours and 14 minutes shorter than next lunation 444 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 55 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 8 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠110.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠110.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠144.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 17 November 2035 at 11:30 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 14 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 3 December 2035 at 08:09 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 363 454 km
Moon is 363 454 km (225 840 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 14 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 041 km (252 302 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after its descending node on 9 November 2035 at 14:55 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 22 November 2035 at 07:40 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
23 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 12:52 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠19.182°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-19.270° in its southern standstill point on 2 December 2035 at 07:25 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 11 days
After 11 days on 29 November 2035 at 19:38 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
