Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 28 October 2095 at 06:32.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1844" and ∠1934".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2095 after 9 days on 11 November 2095 at 19:05.
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 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1185 of Meeus index or 2138 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2095. It is 52 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 38 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 25 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠192.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠219.6°.
6 days after point of apogee on 26 October 2095 at 21:48 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 November 2095 at 21:09 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 388 661 km (241 503 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 8 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 236 km (222 598 mi).
2 days after descending node on 31 October 2095 at 04:49 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 13 November 2095 at 03:43 in ♊ Gemini.
16 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
At 15:39 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-25.619°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠25.649° at the point of next standstill in ♋ Cancer on 15 November 2095 at 06:31.
In 9 days on 11 November 2095 at 19:05 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
