Moon phase and lunation details
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 22 October 2067 at 10:56.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1818"
Lunar disc appears visually 6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1818" and ∠1931".
Hunter Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2067 after 25 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 30 October 2067 at 01:08
- New Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 7 November 2067 at 00:14
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 14 November 2067 at 01:07
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 20 November 2067 at 23:50
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.
Lunation 838 / 1791
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 838 of Meeus index or 1791 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.62 days
Length of current 838 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 46 minutes. It is 55 minutes longer than next lunation 839 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 2 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 1 minute shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠237.7°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠237.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠274.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before apogee
7 days after point of perigee on 19 October 2067 at 10:41 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 31 October 2067 at 06:44 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 394 225 km
Moon is 394 225 km (244 960 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 4 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 504 km (251 347 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 25 October 2067 at 14:38 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 9 November 2067 at 00:25 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
13 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 02:13 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠22.333°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-22.290° in its southern standstill point on 9 November 2067 at 11:57 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 11 days
After 11 days on 7 November 2067 at 00:14 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
