Moon phase and lunation details
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50.
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 ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1794"
Lunar disc appears visually 8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1794" and ∠1944".
Beaver Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2067 after 26 days on 20 December 2067 at 15:41.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- Full Moon in Gemini ♊ on 20 December 2067 at 15:41
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 18 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last 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 perigee
9 days 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 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 28 November 2067 at 03:30 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 399 428 km
The Moon is 399 428 km (248 193 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 463 km (251 322 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 21 November 2067 at 22:58 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 6 December 2067 at 08:52 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
15 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 after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 22 November 2067 at 11:11 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.275°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.279° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 December 2067 at 20:06 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 12 days
In 12 days on 6 December 2067 at 14:05 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
