Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 2 days on 14 November 2067 at 01:07.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1957"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1957" and ∠1941".
Beaver Moon after 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2067 after 4 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 13 December 2067 at 08:38
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 10 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle 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 after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 14 November 2067 at 16:11 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 28 November 2067 at 03:30 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 366 190 km
The Moon is 366 190 km (227 540 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 463 km (251 322 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 9 November 2067 at 00:25 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 21 November 2067 at 22:58 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 9 November 2067 at 11:57 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.290°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.275° at the point of next northern standstill on 22 November 2067 at 11:11 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 4 days
In 4 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.
