Beaver Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2068 after 14 days on 9 November 2068 at 11:40.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1930".
New lunation 850 / 1803
At 10:48 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 850 of Meeus index or lunation 1803 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 29 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2068. It is 4 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 4 hours and 45 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 18 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠183.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠183.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠209.1°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 23 October 2068 at 04:48 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 7 November 2068 at 20:44 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 403 772 km(250 892 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 864 km(224 230 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 13 October 2068 at 09:31 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 27 October 2068 at 18:44 in ♏ Scorpio.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 15 October 2068 at 05:07 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.707° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.659° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 October 2068 at 20:53 in ♐ Sagittarius.
