Moon phase and lunation details
6 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days on 18 October 2083 at 01:54.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♈ Aries
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1810"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1810" and ∠1930".
Hunter Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2083 after 1 day on 25 October 2083 at 14:36.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Aries ♈ on 25 October 2083 at 14:36
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 2 November 2083 at 19:30
- New Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 9 November 2083 at 20:15
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 16 November 2083 at 11:48
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.
Lunation 1036 / 1989
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1036 of Meeus index or 1989 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 52 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2083. It is 18 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 2 hours and 52 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 17 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠325°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠325°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠343.6°.
Moon before perigee
10 days after point of perigee on 13 October 2083 at 13:59 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 29 October 2083 at 11:06 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 395 992 km
The Moon is 395 992 km (246 058 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 765 km (252 131 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 18 October 2083 at 19:32 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 2 November 2083 at 04:57 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 15 October 2083 at 18:28 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.557°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.436° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 October 2083 at 17:47 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 25 October 2083 at 14:36 in ♈ Aries 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.
