Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 2 November 2064 at 04:24.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♎ Libra
Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♏ Scorpio later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1937".
Beaver Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2064 after 16 days on 24 November 2064 at 00:58.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 8 November 2064 at 19:45
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 15 November 2064 at 20:14
- Full Moon in Gemini ♊ on 24 November 2064 at 00:58

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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 11 minutes. It is 1 hour and 33 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 shorter than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠359.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠359.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠14.9°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 22:41. It is 14 days after previous apogee on 24 October 2064 at 01:15 in ♈ Aries. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until 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 further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 2 November 2064 at 05:22 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 14 November 2064 at 16:38 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
19 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on 29 October 2064 at 10:35 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.938°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.869° at the point of next southern standstill on 11 November 2064 at 05:13 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 8 November 2064 at 19:45 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.
