Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 21 November 2071 at 18:59.
Cold Moon after 9 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2071 after 9 days on 7 December 2071 at 06:57.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1945".
Lunation 889 / 1842
The Moon is 5 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 889 of Meeus index or 1842 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 47 minutes and it is 2 hours and 1 minute shorter than the upcoming 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 at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠102.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠138.1°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 16:12 about 15 days since last perigee on 12 November 2071 at 01:07 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 11 days until point of next perigee on 9 December 2071 at 10:47 in ♋ Cancer.
This apogee Moon is 404 865 km(251 571 mi) away from Earth. It is 543 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 844 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 17 November 2071 at 01:15 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 1 December 2071 at 07:18 in ♓ Pisces.
3 days since the last southern standstill on 24 November 2071 at 07:52 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.413° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.456° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 December 2071 at 10:00 in ♋ Cancer.
In 9 days on 7 December 2071 at 06:57 in ♊ Gemini 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.
