Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1802" and ∠1945".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2043 after 18 days on 16 December 2043 at 08:02.
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 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 542 of Meeus index or 1495 from Brown series.
Length of current 542 lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 40 minutes. It is 31 minutes shorter than next lunation 543 length.
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 55 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 7 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠154°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠179.1°. 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°).
10 days after point of perigee on 17 November 2043 at 09:11 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 1 December 2043 at 17:07 in ♐ Sagittarius.

8 days after previous North standstill on 19 November 2043 at 05:40 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.494°. Next 5 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.421° in the next southern standstill on 3 December 2043 at 07:43 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 4 days on 1 December 2043 at 14:37 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
