Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2093 after 13 days on 3 November 2093 at 06:46.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 27 October 2093 at 06:18
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 3 November 2093 at 06:46
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 11 November 2093 at 06:50

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1160 / 2113
At 07:33 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1160 of Meeus index or 2113 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
29 days, 12 hours and 24 minutes is the length of new lunation 1160. It is 34 minutes longer than next lunation 1161 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 20 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 49 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠284.3°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠284.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠314.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 13 October 2093 at 02:43 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 26 October 2093 at 10:39 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 383 166 km
Moon is 383 166 km (238 088 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 5 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 370 030 km (229 926 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after its ascending node on 12 October 2093 at 13:29 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 5 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 26 October 2093 at 05:22 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
8 days after previous North standstill on 11 October 2093 at 17:32 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠22.080°. Next 5 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-22.213° in the next southern standstill on 25 October 2093 at 15:11 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
