Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 15 November 2035 at 13:49.
Moonrise and moonset
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.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1941".
Beaver Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2035 after 26 days on 15 December 2035 at 00:33.

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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 39 minutes. It is 2 hours and 14 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠110.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠110.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠144.1°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 17 November 2035 at 11:30 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 14 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 3 December 2035 at 08:09 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 363 454 km
The Moon is 363 454 km (225 840 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 14 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 041 km (252 302 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after descending node on 9 November 2035 at 14:55 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 22 November 2035 at 07:40 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
23 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 at northern standstill
At 12:52 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠19.182°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-19.270° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 2 December 2035 at 07:25.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 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.
