Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 678 / 1631
At 20:01 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 678 of Meeus index or 1631 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 32 minutes. It is 2 hours and 46 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 12 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 57 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠44°
The true anomaly is ∠44°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠72.4°.
Moon after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 28 October 2054 at 01:15 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 November 2054 at 19:52 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 377 100 km
The Moon is 377 100 km (234 319 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 372 km (251 265 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 25 October 2054 at 21:32 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 8 November 2054 at 04:08 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on 22 October 2054 at 10:52 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.417°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.520° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 November 2054 at 07:53 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
