Crescent ♐ Sagittarius
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 8 December 2039 at 20:44.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1952" and ∠1949".
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2039 after 17 days on 30 December 2039 at 12:37.
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 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 493 of Meeus index or 1446 from Brown series.
Length of current 493 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes. It is 7 minutes shorter than next lunation 494 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 11 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠340.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠356.9°. 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°).
10 days after point of apogee on 2 December 2039 at 16:15 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 December 2039 at 20:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Moon is 367 239 km (228 192 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 356 818 km (221 716 mi).
12 days after its ascending node on 1 December 2039 at 02:11 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 14 December 2039 at 23:54 in ♐ Sagittarius.
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
10 days after previous North standstill on 3 December 2039 at 10:32 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.474°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-25.464° in the next southern standstill on 16 December 2039 at 19:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 2 days on 15 December 2039 at 16:32 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
