Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 467 / 1420
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 467 of Meeus index or 1420 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.4 days
Length of current 467 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 29 minutes. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than next lunation 468 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 15 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 54 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠9.6°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠9.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠26.3°. 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 apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 21 October 2037 at 07:33 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 5 November 2037 at 22:15 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 403 914 km
Moon is 403 914 km (250 981 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 13 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 360 791 km (224 185 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after its descending node on 16 October 2037 at 03:12 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 30 October 2037 at 16:21 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
19 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
8 days after previous South standstill on 15 October 2037 at 02:33 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-21.804°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠21.956° in the next northern standstill on 29 October 2037 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
