Spring tide
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.
Lunation 678 / 1631
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 678 of Meeus index or 1631 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
Length of current 678 lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 32 minutes. It is 2 hours and 46 minutes shorter than next lunation 679 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 12 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 57 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠44°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠44°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠72.4°. 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°).
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 8 November 2054 at 19:52 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 23 November 2054 at 15:48 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 387 340 km
Moon is 387 340 km (240 682 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 8 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 370 009 km (229 913 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after its descending node on 8 November 2054 at 04:08 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 21 November 2054 at 22:10 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
11 days after previous South standstill on 4 November 2054 at 07:53 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.520°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.632° in the next northern standstill on 18 November 2054 at 17:11 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
