Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 1 day on 26 October 2089 at 16:06.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1932".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2089 after 20 days on 18 November 2089 at 03:02.
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.
The Moon is 24 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1110 of Meeus index or 2063 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes. It is 2 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 4 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 5 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠38.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠64.1°.
Moon is at perigee at 23:05. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 13 October 2089 at 11:47 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next apogee on 10 November 2089 at 07:48 in ♒ Aquarius.
This perigee Moon is 368 917 km (229 234 mi) away from Earth. It is 6 409 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 1 439 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
10 days after descending node on 18 October 2089 at 03:46 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 31 October 2089 at 06:06 in ♎ Libra.
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 24 October 2089 at 02:33 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.262°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.316° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 November 2089 at 03:10 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 5 days on 2 November 2089 at 12:55 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.
