Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1777"
Lunar disc appears visually 9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1777" and ∠1945".
It is Beaver Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Beaver of November 2091.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 3 December 2091 at 22:55
- New Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 10 December 2091 at 13:54
- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 17 December 2091 at 17:29

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 1136 / 2089
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1136 of Meeus index or 2089 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 12 minutes. It is 1 hour and 31 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 2 hours and 32 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠4.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠4.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠20.8°.
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 23 November 2091 at 23:32 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 December 2091 at 08:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 403 263 km
The Moon is 403 263 km (250 576 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 394 km (223 317 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after descending node on 18 November 2091 at 04:24 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 December 2091 at 18:52 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
20 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on 14 November 2091 at 09:21 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.311°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.417° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 November 2091 at 22:15 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.
