Moderate tide
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.
Lunation 801 / 1754
The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 801 of Meeus index or 1754 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.38 days
Length of current 801 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 11 minutes. It is 1 hour and 33 minutes shorter than next lunation 802 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 33 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 36 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠359.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠359.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠14.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 22:41, this is 14 days after last apogee on 24 October 2064 at 01:15 in ♈ Aries. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 20 November 2064 at 08:27 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 358 227 km
This perigee Moon is 358 227 km (222 592 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 281 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 129 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
5 days after its descending node on 2 November 2064 at 05:22 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 14 November 2064 at 16:38 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
19 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
9 days after previous North standstill on 29 October 2064 at 10:35 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠26.938°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-26.869° in the next southern standstill on 11 November 2064 at 05:13 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 8 November 2064 at 19:45 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
