Moon phase and

lunation details

5 days after First Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter
before 5 days on 6 November 2008 at 04:04.

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.

Moon in Aries
Moon is passing about ∠25° of Aries tropical
zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter

∠ 1925"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.7% narrower than
solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular
diameters are ∠1925" and ∠1939".

Beaver Moon after 1 day

Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November
2008 after 1 day on 13 November 2008 at

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 109 / 1062

The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural
satellite is moving from the first to the middle
part of current synodic month. This is lunation
109 of Meeus index or 1062 from Brown series.

$ Previous | Current | Next %

Synodic month length 29.74

days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours
and 41 minutes. It is 1 hour and 47 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 longer than

mean
The length of the current synodic month is
4 hours and 57 minutes longer than the mean
synodic month length. It is 2 hours and
6 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's
longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

11 November 2008
Tuesday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 133.4°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true
anomaly is ∠133.4°. At the beginning of next
synodic month the true anomaly is going to be
∠161.9°.

Moon before apogee

9 days after point of apogee on
2 November 2008 at 04:55 in Sagittarius.
The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon
is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this
direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon
reaches the point of next perigee on
14 November 2008 at 09:59 in Gemini.

$ Previous apogee | Next perigee %

Distance to Moon
372 379 km
The Moon is 372 379 km (231 386 mi) away
from Earth and getting closer over the next
2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon
distance is going to be 358 973 km
(223 055 mi).

Moon after ascending node

5 days after ascending node on
6 November 2008 at 03:34 in Aquarius. The
Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the
following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses
from North to South in descending node on
18 November 2008 at 18:37 in Leo.

Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic
month in Aquarius, the Moon is navigating
from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon before northern

standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on
1 November 2008 at 20:56 in Sagittarius
when the Moon has reached South declination
of ∠-27.155°, the lunar orbit is extending
northward over the next 3 days to face
maximum declination of ∠27.088° at the point of
next northern standstill on 15 November 2008 at
08:19 in Gemini.

Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 13 November 2008 at 06:17 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.
