Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♏ Scorpio
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1944" and ∠1939".
Beaver Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2099 after 15 days on 27 November 2099 at 21:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 19 November 2099 at 17:17
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 27 November 2099 at 21:22
- Last Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 5 December 2099 at 04:46

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 1235 / 2188
At 11:29 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1235 of Meeus index or 2188 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 40 minutes. It is 2 hours and 7 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 4 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 5 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠27.7°
The true anomaly is ∠27.7°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠49.8°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 10 November 2099 at 19:35 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 22 November 2099 at 17:25 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 368 709 km
The Moon is 368 709 km (229 105 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 988 km (251 648 mi).
Moon after descending node
3 days after descending node on 8 November 2099 at 18:31 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 21 November 2099 at 23:18 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 2 November 2099 at 11:20 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.524°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.455° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 November 2099 at 04:28 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
