Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1949" and ∠1945".
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2042.
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.
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 530 of Meeus index or 1483 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 1 minute. It is 1 hour and 37 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 17 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 46 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠201.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠232°.
1 day after point of perigee on 25 November 2042 at 22:40 in ♉ Taurus. 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 8 December 2042 at 00:37 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 367 718 km (228 489 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 435 km (251 926 mi).
3 days after ascending node on 24 November 2042 at 01:03 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 7 December 2042 at 05:37 in ♎ Libra.
3 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
11 days since the previous standstill on 16 November 2042 at 08:09 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.390°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠28.344° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 November 2042 at 03:21 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
