Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♐ Sagittarius later.
Cold Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2071 after 15 days on 7 December 2071 at 06:57.
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 ∠1839" and ∠1943".
New lunation 889 / 1842
At 18:59 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 889 of Meeus index or lunation 1842 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 47 minutes. It is 2 hours and 1 minute shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 3 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠102.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠102.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠138.1°.
Moon before apogee
9 days since point of perigee on 12 November 2071 at 01:07 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 27 November 2071 at 16:12 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 389 815 km(242 220 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 865 km(251 571 mi).
Moon after ascending node
4 days after ascending node on 17 November 2071 at 01:15 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 1 December 2071 at 07:18 in ♓ Pisces.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 11 November 2071 at 00:34 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.336° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.413° at the point of next southern standstill on 24 November 2071 at 07:52 in ♑ Capricorn.
