Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 25 October 2062 at 06:28.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1938" and ∠1932".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2062 after 19 days on 16 November 2062 at 20:48.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 776 of Meeus index or 1729 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 43 minutes. It is 2 hours and 45 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 minute shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 8 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠54.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠86.4°.
3 days after point of perigee on 24 October 2062 at 12:04 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 7 November 2062 at 23:42 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 369 782 km (229 772 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 510 km (251 351 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♍ Virgo at 19:18 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 14 days later on 12 November 2062 at 01:21 in ♓ Pisces.
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the cycle.
5 days since the previous standstill on 22 October 2062 at 22:10 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.544°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.465° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 November 2062 at 05:18 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 3 days on 1 November 2062 at 07:32 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
