Watch the moon phases and libration for 2024, as seen from Earth's Southern Hemisphere, in this time-lapsed animation that is ...

Libration is the reason this near- and far-side dichotomy isn’t quite so clear-cut. The phenomenon chiefly arises because the moon’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle but is instead quite ...

McCarthy's moon libration video animation offers a stunning look at how the moon changes over time from month to month in its orbit. On average, the distance from the Earth to the moon is about ...

This is called the lunar libration. There’s also the daily libration. The Earth is a big place with respect to the size of the moon, and when it spins it covers a lot of ground.

This animation from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, above, is 2023 as a time-lapse, showing the libration and craters, lava seas, and where NASA landed the Apollo missions.

This is libration. That rocking and tilting is real, it’s called libration. The moon’s orbit is not a circle, but an ellipse. The speed varies, but the spin is constant.

Azimuthal libration describes how, whenever Pluto crosses Neptune's orbit, it is always at least 90 degrees away from Neptune.

Mimas, the wobbly little moon orbiting Saturn, is a ringer for the space station from ‘Star Wars,’ but that’s not the only odd thing about it—it may have a huge ocean under its surface.

In 1962, two researchers hashed out one of the earliest proposals to treat libration points as space destinations. Space historian and Beyond Apollo blogger David S. F. Portree describes a ...
