Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 22 November 2037 at 21:35.
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 is passing about ∠17° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1890" and ∠1945".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2037 after 26 days on 22 December 2037 at 13:38.
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.
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 468 of Meeus index or 1421 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠26.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠48°.
8 days after point of apogee on 17 November 2037 at 21:05 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 December 2037 at 21:37 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 379 166 km (235 603 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 366 169 km (227 527 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 17:38 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 9 December 2037 at 12:36 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 17:38 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
At 02:10 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.140°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.177° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 8 December 2037 at 22:32.
In 10 days on 6 December 2037 at 23:38 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.
