Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 7 November 2067 at 00:14.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1911"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1911" and ∠1938".
Beaver Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2067 after 11 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 14 November 2067 at 01:07
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 20 November 2067 at 23:50
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 28 November 2067 at 22:06
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 6 December 2067 at 14:05
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 839 / 1792
The Moon is 2 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 839 of Meeus index or 1792 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.58 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 51 minutes. It is 1 hour and 18 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 1 hour and 7 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 56 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠274.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠274.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠307.7°.
Moon before apogee
9 days after point of apogee on 31 October 2067 at 06:44 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 November 2067 at 16:11 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 374 989 km
The Moon is 374 989 km (233 007 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 5 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 370 093 km (229 965 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 00:25 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 21 November 2067 at 22:58 in ♊ Gemini.
New draconic month
At 00:25 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon at southern standstill
At 11:57 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-22.290°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠22.275° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 22 November 2067 at 11:11.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
