Previous | Current draconic month | Next Moon before northern standstillġ1 days since the previous standstill on 16 November 2023 at 14:45 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.238°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠28.191° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 November 2023 at 14:08 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 8 December 2023 at 15:24 in ♎ Libra.Ĥ days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle. Moon after ascending nodeĤ days after ascending node on 24 November 2023 at 11:02 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is 388 318 km ( 241 290 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 348 km ( 251 250 mi). Previous perigee | Next apogee Distance to Moon 388 318 km It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 4 December 2023 at 18:42 in ♍ Virgo.

The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. Moon before perigeeĦ days after point of perigee on 21 November 2023 at 21:03 in ♓ Pisces. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠303.6°. It is 5 hours and 42 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.Īt the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠269.5°. The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 21 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee ( ∠0° or ∠360°). It is 1 hour and 40 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 5 minutes. Previous | Current lunation | Next Synodic month length 29.59 days

This is lunation 295 of Meeus index or 1248 from Brown series. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
