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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 46 minutes. It is 55 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 2 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 1 minute shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠237.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠237.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠274.8°.
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of perigee on 19 October 2067 at 10:41 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 31 October 2067 at 06:44 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 394 225 km
The Moon is 394 225 km (244 960 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 504 km (251 347 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 25 October 2067 at 14:38 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 9 November 2067 at 00:25 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 02:13 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.333°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.290° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 9 November 2067 at 11:57.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 7 November 2067 at 00:14 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.
