Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 11 November 2057 at 06:24.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1940".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2057 after 26 days on 11 December 2057 at 00:46.
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.
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 715 of Meeus index or 1668 from Brown series.
Length of current 715 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 3 minutes. It is 3 minutes longer than next lunation 716 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 41 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 28 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠318.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠339°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
14 days after point of perigee on 30 October 2057 at 17:10 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 15 November 2057 at 17:25 in ♋ Cancer.
Moon is 405 153 km (251 750 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 449 km (251 934 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♊ Gemini at 04:02 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 13 days to meet descending node on 27 November 2057 at 21:30 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 04:02 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
12 days after previous South standstill on 1 November 2057 at 16:37 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-24.406°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠24.485° in the next northern standstill on 15 November 2057 at 14:41 in ♋ Cancer.
After 12 days on 26 November 2057 at 14:22 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
