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 517 / 1470
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 517 of Meeus index or 1470 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.67 days
Length of current 517 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 6 minutes. It is 1 hour and 36 minutes longer than next lunation 518 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 22 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 41 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠229.1°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠229.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠265.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 5 November 2041 at 15:42 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 17 November 2041 at 10:08 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 374 306 km
Moon is 374 306 km (232 583 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 8 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 651 km (251 438 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 7 November 2041 at 12:05 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 13 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 21 November 2041 at 17:04 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
9 days after previous South standstill on 30 October 2041 at 01:24 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.842°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.827° in the next northern standstill on 11 November 2041 at 19:44 in ♊ Gemini.
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.
