Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 25 October 2064 at 07:06 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 about ∠23° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Hunter of October 2064.
There is extremely high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is heavy, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment and the near perigee.
Lunar disc appears visually 8.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1930".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 801 of Meeus index or 1754 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 11 minutes and it is 1 hour and 33 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 33 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 36 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠359.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠14.9°.
Moon is at apogee at 01:15 about 13 days since last perigee on 10 October 2064 at 11:14 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next perigee on 7 November 2064 at 22:41 in ♎ Libra.
This apogee Moon is 406 377 km (252 511 mi) away from Earth. It is 969 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 332 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
5 days after ascending node on 18 October 2064 at 15:14 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 2 November 2064 at 05:22 in ♌ Leo.
9 days since the last southern standstill on 14 October 2064 at 19:52 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.067° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.938° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 October 2064 at 10:35 in ♊ Gemini.
5 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
