Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 12 December 2065 at 19:52.
Cold Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2066 after 27 days on 11 January 2066 at 15:07.
Neap tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1798"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1798" and ∠1950".
Lunation 815 / 1768
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 815 of Meeus index or 1768 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 48 minutes and it is 59 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 57 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 13 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠0.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠0.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠16.6°.
Moon after apogee
4 days since point of apogee on 11 December 2065 at 06:28 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 23 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 7 January 2066 at 15:46 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 398 555 km(247 651 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 23 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 716 km(252 100 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♋ Cancer at 01:34 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 28 December 2065 at 03:31 in ♑ Capricorn.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 12 December 2065 at 16:57 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.464° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.485° at the point of next southern standstill on 26 December 2065 at 06:50 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 11 days on 27 December 2065 at 08:27 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
