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 728 / 1681
At 03:09 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 728 of Meeus index or 1681 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.54 days
29 days, 13 hours and 2 minutes is the length of new lunation 728. It is 1 hour and 17 minutes longer than next lunation 729 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 18 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 45 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠294°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠294°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠321.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
8 days after point of apogee on 8 November 2058 at 10:49 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 20 November 2058 at 22:40 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 379 553 km
Moon is 379 553 km (235 843 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 235 km (229 432 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♏ Scorpio at 23:56 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days to meet ascending node on 29 November 2058 at 23:07 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
13 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
11 days after previous North standstill on 5 November 2058 at 06:51 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.986°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-26.009° in the next southern standstill on 19 November 2058 at 09:59 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
