Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 30 November 2058 at 03:17 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Beaver of November 2058.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1853" and ∠1946".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 728 of Meeus index or 1681 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 2 minutes and it is 1 hour and 17 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 18 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 45 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠294° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠321.5°.
8 days since point of perigee on 20 November 2058 at 22:40 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 December 2058 at 07:43 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 386 889 km (240 402 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 781 km (251 519 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♉ Taurus at 23:07 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 14 December 2058 at 09:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
10 days since the last southern standstill on 19 November 2058 at 09:59 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.009° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.007° at the point of next northern standstill on 2 December 2058 at 15:32 in ♋ Cancer.
At 23:07 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
