Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Beaver Moon after 22 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2082 after 22 days on 5 November 2082 at 14:38.
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 ∠1842"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1842" and ∠1924".
Lunation 1023 / 1976
The Moon is 21 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1023 of Meeus index or 1976 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 47 minutes and it is 42 minutes shorter 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 57 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 12 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠342.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠342.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠358°.
Moon after apogee
5 days since point of apogee on 8 October 2082 at 14:12 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 21 October 2082 at 21:44 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 389 045 km(241 741 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 831 km(221 725 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 2 October 2082 at 22:05 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 17 October 2082 at 11:28 in ♌ Leo.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 12 October 2082 at 18:49 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.713° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.625° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 October 2082 at 12:18 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 7 days on 21 October 2082 at 18:50 in ♎ Libra 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.
