Waning Gibbous on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 90% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 17 days old.
The 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.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 14 November 2092 at 03:04.
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2092 after 26 days on 13 December 2092 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.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1941".
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1148 of Meeus index or 2101 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 7 minutes and it is 27 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2092. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 32 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠334° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠350.8°.
Moon is at apogee at 00:09 about 15 days since last perigee on 1 November 2092 at 08:57 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next perigee on 29 November 2092 at 18:22 in ♐ Sagittarius.
This apogee Moon is 406 114 km (252 348 mi) away from Earth. It is 706 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 595 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
11 days after descending node on 6 November 2092 at 00:18 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 20 November 2092 at 09:44 in ♌ Leo.
13 days since the last southern standstill on 3 November 2092 at 23:31 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.608° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠20.732° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 November 2092 at 03:46 in ♋ Cancer.
24 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♌ Leo the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
In 11 days on 29 November 2092 at 05:36 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.
