Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 468 / 1421
At 12:03 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 468 of Meeus index or 1421 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.48 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 35 minutes. It is 2 hours and 28 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 9 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠26.3°
The true anomaly is ∠26.3°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠48°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 5 November 2037 at 22:15 in ♎ Libra. 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 17 November 2037 at 21:05 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 368 199 km
The Moon is 368 199 km (228 788 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 184 km (251 770 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 30 October 2037 at 16:21 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 12 November 2037 at 05:59 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 29 October 2037 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.956°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.049° at the point of next southern standstill on 11 November 2037 at 11:53 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
