6 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 6 days on 18 November 2095 at 19:55.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1775"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1944".

Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2095 after 15 days on 11 December 2095 at 06:21.
Upcoming main Moon phases

- First Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 4 December 2095 at 14:21
- Full Moon in Gemini ♊ on 11 December 2095 at 06:21

Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 1185 / 2138
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1185 of Meeus index or 2138 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.77 days
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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠192.1°
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°.
Moon after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 23 November 2095 at 06:05 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 December 2095 at 04:46 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 403 905 km
The Moon is 403 905 km (250 975 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 638 km (225 333 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 13 November 2095 at 03:43 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 27 November 2095 at 10:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 15 November 2095 at 06:31 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.649°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.668° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 November 2095 at 21:18 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 27 November 2095 at 00:54 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.
