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
Length of current 1185 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 next lunation 1186 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 38 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 25 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠192.1°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠192.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠219.6°. 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 after apogee
2 days after point of apogee on 23 November 2095 at 06:05 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 9 December 2095 at 04:46 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 403 905 km
Moon is 403 905 km (250 975 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 13 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 362 638 km (225 333 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after its ascending node on 13 November 2095 at 03:43 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 27 November 2095 at 10:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days after previous North standstill on 15 November 2095 at 06:31 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.649°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-25.668° in the next southern standstill on 29 November 2095 at 21:18 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 27 November 2095 at 00:54 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
