Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 24 November 2089 at 23:18.
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 about ∠9° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1940" and ∠1945".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2089 after 20 days on 17 December 2089 at 15:37.
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 1111 of Meeus index or 2064 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠64.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠99°.
4 days after point of perigee on 22 November 2089 at 17:03 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 December 2089 at 04:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 369 534 km (229 618 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 778 km (251 517 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♎ Libra at 10:18 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 11 December 2089 at 15:27 in ♈ Aries.
At 10:18 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
7 days since the previous standstill on 20 November 2089 at 09:39 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.377°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.433° at the point of next southern standstill on 3 December 2089 at 12:44 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 4 days on 2 December 2089 at 03:11 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
