Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1885" and ∠1935".
Beaver Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2089 after 15 days on 18 November 2089 at 03:02.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 10 November 2089 at 07:28
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 18 November 2089 at 03:02
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 24 November 2089 at 23:18

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1111 / 2064
At 12:55 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1111 of Meeus index or 2064 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.6 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 17 minutes. It is 2 hours and 28 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 32 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠64.1°
The true anomaly is ∠64.1°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠99°.
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 28 October 2089 at 23:05 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 November 2089 at 07:48 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 380 288 km
The Moon is 380 288 km (236 300 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 280 km (251 208 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 31 October 2089 at 06:06 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 14 November 2089 at 10:59 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
9 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 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.316° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 November 2089 at 03:10 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
