Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 10 November 2053 at 10:55.
Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2053 after 14 days on 25 November 2053 at 22:21.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1808"
Lunar disc appears visually 7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1808" and ∠1939".
Lunation 666 / 1619
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 666 of Meeus index or 1619 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 45 minutes and it is 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 2 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠106.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠106.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠141.1°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 31 October 2053 at 10:02 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 November 2053 at 03:37 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 396 374 km(246 295 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 957 km(251 629 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 5 November 2053 at 16:13 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 19 November 2053 at 23:07 in ♓ Pisces.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 31 October 2053 at 15:02 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.541° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.637° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 November 2053 at 03:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 14 days on 25 November 2053 at 22:21 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
