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
Length of current 839 lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 51 minutes. It is 1 hour and 18 minutes longer than next lunation 840 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 7 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 56 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠274.8°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠274.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠307.7°. 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 perigee
9 days after point of apogee on 31 October 2067 at 06:44 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 14 November 2067 at 16:11 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 374 989 km
Moon is 374 989 km (233 007 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 5 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 370 093 km (229 965 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 00:25 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet descending node on 21 November 2067 at 22:58 in ♊ Gemini.
New draconic month
At 00:25 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
Moon in southern standstill
At 11:57 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-22.290°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠22.275° in its northern standstill point on 22 November 2067 at 11:11 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 11 days
After 11 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
