Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 14 October 2059 at 11:38.
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 first ∠4° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1927".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2059 after 1 day on 21 October 2059 at 02:15.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 739 of Meeus index or 1692 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 22 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2059. It is 44 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 4 hours and 38 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 25 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠197.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠225.8°.
Moon is at perigee at 23:09. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 4 October 2059 at 18:25 in ♍ Virgo. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next apogee on 1 November 2059 at 04:40 in ♍ Virgo.
This perigee Moon is 359 009 km (223 078 mi) away from Earth. It is 3 499 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 11 347 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
9 days after descending node on 9 October 2059 at 12:05 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 22 October 2059 at 10:13 in ♉ Taurus.
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
6 days since the previous standstill on 13 October 2059 at 11:22 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.180°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.221° at the point of next northern standstill on 26 October 2059 at 00:58 in ♋ Cancer.
In 1 day on 21 October 2059 at 02:15 in ♈ Aries 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.
