Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1970"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1970" and ∠1945".
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2061.
Upcoming main Moon phases

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 765 / 1718
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 765 of Meeus index or 1718 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.79 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 53 minutes. It is 27 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 9 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 54 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠151.2°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠151.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠176.8°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 19:57. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 15 November 2061 at 02:30 in ♐ Sagittarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 12 December 2061 at 07:27 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 357 101 km
This perigee Moon is 357 101 km (221 892 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 407 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 255 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
4 days after ascending node on 23 November 2061 at 11:10 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 5 December 2061 at 23:41 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
4 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
11 days since the previous standstill on 15 November 2061 at 15:41 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.489°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠28.441° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 November 2061 at 23:49 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
