Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 26 November 2076 at 11:28.
Cold Moon after 12 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2076 after 12 days on 10 December 2076 at 11:35.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1899"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1899" and ∠1945".
Lunation 951 / 1904
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 951 of Meeus index or 1904 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 25 minutes and it is 1 hour and 33 minutes longer than the upcoming 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 41 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 22 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠290.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠290.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠319.3°.
Moon before perigee
8 days since point of apogee on 18 November 2076 at 23:07 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 December 2076 at 16:17 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 377 415 km(234 515 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 627 km(229 676 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 08:39 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 10 December 2076 at 07:37 in ♊ Gemini.
12 days since the last northern standstill on 14 November 2076 at 19:07 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.085° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-25.107° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 November 2076 at 01:35 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 12 days on 10 December 2076 at 11:35 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.
