Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 30 November 2039 at 16:49.
Beaver Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2039 after 26 days on 30 December 2039 at 12:37.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1777"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1777" and ∠1947".
Lunation 493 / 1446
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 493 of Meeus index or 1446 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes and it is 7 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠340.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠340.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠356.9°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 2 December 2039 at 16:15 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 15 December 2039 at 20:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 403 324 km(250 614 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 818 km(221 716 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 1 December 2039 at 02:11 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 December 2039 at 23:54 in ♐ Sagittarius.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 3 December 2039 at 10:32 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.474° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.464° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 December 2039 at 19:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 11 days on 15 December 2039 at 16:32 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.
