Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
6 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 6 days on 7 November 2077 at 12:09.
Beaver Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2077 after 15 days on 29 November 2077 at 21:43.
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 ∠1779"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1779" and ∠1940".
Lunation 962 / 1915
The Moon is 28 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 962 of Meeus index or 1915 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 53 minutes and it is 47 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2077. 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 5 hours and 9 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 54 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠194.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠194.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠222.6°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 11 November 2077 at 17:19 in ♎ Libra 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 27 November 2077 at 16:38 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 402 828 km(250 306 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 363 178 km(225 668 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 1 November 2077 at 18:57 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 16 November 2077 at 02:10 in ♏ Scorpio.
9 days since the last northern standstill on 4 November 2077 at 15:36 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.487° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.504° at the point of next southern standstill on 19 November 2077 at 07:28 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 1 day on 15 November 2077 at 17:00 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
