Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 1135 / 2088
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1135 of Meeus index or 2088 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.38 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes. It is 59 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠349.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠349.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠4.7°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 22:34. It is 14 days after previous perigee on 13 October 2091 at 09:20 in ♎ Libra. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 10 November 2091 at 21:06 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 406 488 km
This apogee Moon is 406 488 km (252 580 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 080 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 221 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 22 October 2091 at 03:28 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 5 November 2091 at 17:50 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on 17 October 2091 at 23:45 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.095°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.224° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 November 2091 at 15:30 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
