Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 26 November 2091 at 03:43.
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 passing first ∠2° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1803" and ∠1945".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2091 after 27 days on 25 December 2091 at 21:59.
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 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.
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°).
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.
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°.
4 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 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 December 2091 at 08:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 397 626 km (247 073 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 394 km (223 317 mi).
10 days after descending node on 18 November 2091 at 04:24 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 December 2091 at 18:52 in ♌ Leo.
22 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
At 22:15 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠19.417°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-19.452° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 11 December 2091 at 21:10.
In 12 days on 10 December 2091 at 13:54 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.
