Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 18 November 2053 at 13:26.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1811" and ∠1942".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2053 after 5 days on 25 November 2053 at 22:21.
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 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 666 of Meeus index or 1619 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 45 minutes. It is 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
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.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠106.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠141.1°.
4 days after point of apogee on 16 November 2053 at 03:37 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 27 November 2053 at 23:02 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 395 723 km (245 891 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 464 km (225 225 mi).
1 day after descending node on 19 November 2053 at 23:07 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 December 2053 at 16:41 in ♍ Virgo.
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
6 days since the previous standstill on 14 November 2053 at 03:32 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.637°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.707° at the point of next northern standstill on 27 November 2053 at 23:44 in ♊ Gemini.
In 5 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.
