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

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 1160 / 2113
The Moon is 6 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1160 of Meeus index or 2113 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
Length of current 1160 lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 24 minutes. 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 in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 10:39, this is 13 days after last apogee on 13 October 2093 at 02:43 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 14 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 9 November 2093 at 23:18 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 370 030 km
This perigee Moon is 370 030 km (229 926 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest perigee of 2093. It is 7 522 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 326 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♑ Capricorn at 05:22 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days to meet ascending node on 8 November 2093 at 15:46 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
13 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day after previous South standstill on 25 October 2093 at 15:11 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-22.213°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠22.330° in the next northern standstill on 8 November 2093 at 02:08 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 7 days
After 7 days on 3 November 2093 at 06:46 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
