Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 17 December 2089 at 15:37.
Cold Moon before 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2090 after 27 days on 16 January 2090 at 03:02.
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 ∠1958"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1958" and ∠1950".
Lunation 1112 / 2065
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1112 of Meeus index or 2065 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 45 minutes and it is 1 hour and 52 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 4 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 2 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠99°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠99° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠135.1°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 22:47 about 11 days since last apogee on 8 December 2089 at 04:46 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 16 days until point of next apogee on 4 January 2090 at 23:25 in ♒ Aquarius.
This perigee Moon is 363 543 km(225 895 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 035 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 6 813 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 11 December 2089 at 15:27 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 24 December 2089 at 10:45 in ♎ Libra.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 17 December 2089 at 19:41 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.446° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.450° at the point of next southern standstill on 30 December 2089 at 21:23 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 12 days on 31 December 2089 at 19:57 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
