Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Beaver of November 2077.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1938"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1938" and ∠1946".
Lunation 963 / 1916
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 963 of Meeus index or 1916 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 6 minutes and it is 1 hour and 58 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 4 hours and 22 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 41 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠222.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠222.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠258.6°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 27 November 2077 at 16:38 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 9 December 2077 at 10:56 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 369 929 km(229 863 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 827 km(251 548 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♉ Taurus at 05:49 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 13 December 2077 at 09:35 in ♏ Scorpio.
10 days since the last southern standstill on 19 November 2077 at 07:28 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.504° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.488° at the point of next northern standstill on 2 December 2077 at 01:46 in ♋ Cancer.
At 05:49 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
