Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1857" and ∠1950".
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2064 after 15 days on 4 January 2064 at 09:31.
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.
At 20:04 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 791 of Meeus index or 1744 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 33 minutes. It is 1 hour and 53 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 3 hours and 49 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 14 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠88.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠125.9°.
1 day after point of perigee on 17 December 2063 at 19:22 in ♏ Scorpio. 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 26 December 2063 at 09:48 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 386 051 km (239 881 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 532 km (251 365 mi).
8 days after descending node on 11 December 2063 at 02:54 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 24 December 2063 at 11:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
22 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
At 14:21 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-27.752°. This is the year's southernmost lunar standstill of 2063. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠27.781° at the point of next standstill in ♋ Cancer on 3 January 2064 at 00:55.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
