Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after First Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 19 November 2099 at 17:17.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.

Beaver Moon after 6 days

Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2099 after 6 days on 27 November 2099 at 21:22.

Upcoming main Moon phases

Neap tide

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.

Lunation 1235 / 2188

The Moon is 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1235 of Meeus index or 2188 from Brown series.

PreviousCurrent lunationNext

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°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠27.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠49.8°.

Moon before perigee

10 days 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 day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 22 November 2099 at 17:25 in ♓ Pisces.

Previous perigeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 404 324 km

The Moon is 404 324 km (251 235 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 988 km (251 648 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon after southern standstill

6 days since the previous standstill on 15 November 2099 at 04:28 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.455°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.380° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 November 2099 at 16:41 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 6 days

In 6 days on 27 November 2099 at 21:22 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.
