Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1210 / 2163
At 02:08 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1210 of Meeus index or 2163 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.72 days
29 days, 17 hours and 18 minutes is the length of new lunation 1210. It is 1 hour and 48 minutes shorter than next lunation 1211 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 29 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠112.4°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠112.4°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠145.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of perigee on 24 October 2097 at 15:32 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 9 November 2097 at 12:12 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 395 218 km
Moon is 395 218 km (245 577 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 5 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 184 km (251 770 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 3 November 2097 at 09:02 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 17 November 2097 at 19:55 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
14 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
9 days after previous North standstill on 25 October 2097 at 18:37 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠27.974°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-27.959° in the next southern standstill on 8 November 2097 at 10:53 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
