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
29 days, 11 hours and 35 minutes is the length of new lunation 468. It is 2 hours and 28 minutes shorter than next lunation 469 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 9 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠26.3°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠26.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠48°. 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 5 November 2037 at 22:15 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 17 November 2037 at 21:05 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 368 199 km
Moon is 368 199 km (228 788 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 184 km (251 770 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after its ascending node on 30 October 2037 at 16:21 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 12 November 2037 at 05:59 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
8 days after previous North standstill on 29 October 2037 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.956°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-22.049° in the next southern standstill on 11 November 2037 at 11:53 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
