Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 26 November 2091 at 03:43.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is entering ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1803"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1803" and ∠1945".

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

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.
Lunation 1136 / 2089
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1136 of Meeus index or 2089 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
Length of current 1136 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 12 minutes. It is 1 hour and 31 minutes shorter than next lunation 1137 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 32 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 37 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠4.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠4.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠20.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 23 November 2091 at 23:32 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 9 December 2091 at 08:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 397 626 km
Moon is 397 626 km (247 073 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 10 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 394 km (223 317 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after its descending node on 18 November 2091 at 04:24 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 2 December 2091 at 18:52 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
22 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 22:15 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠19.417°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-19.452° in its southern standstill point on 11 December 2091 at 21:10 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 12 days
After 12 days on 10 December 2091 at 13:54 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
