Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 3 November 2093 at 06:46.
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 in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1771"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1771" and ∠1937".
Beaver Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2093 after 24 days on 2 December 2093 at 22:24.
Upcoming main Moon phases

- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 25 November 2093 at 13:54

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 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1160 of Meeus index or 2113 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 24 minutes. It is 34 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 20 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 49 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠284.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠284.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠314.2°.
Moon before perigee
13 days after point of perigee on 26 October 2093 at 10:39 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 9 November 2093 at 23:18 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 404 631 km
The Moon is 404 631 km (251 426 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 417 km (251 293 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 15:46 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 22 November 2093 at 07:46 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 15:46 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon at northern standstill
At 02:08 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.330°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.406° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 21 November 2093 at 22:15.
Syzygy in 10 days
In 10 days on 18 November 2093 at 19:57 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
