This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2022, as viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale. Craters near the terminator are labeled, as are Apollo landing sites, maria, and other albedo features in sunlight.

133 Days on the Sun: Unraveling the Mysteries of Our Solar Furnace The Sun, a blazing ball of seething plasma, has always captivated humanity with its immense power and beauty. For centuries, astronomers and scientists have sought to understand the intricate workings of this celestial giant, and recent advancements in solar research have shed new light on its secrets. Among the most intriguing revelations is the notion that it takes a mere 133 days for energy generated at the Sun's core to reach its surface and be released into space. This journey begins at the Sun's core, where nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into helium, releasing an astonishing amount of energy in the process. This energy then begins its arduous trek through the Sun's radiative and convective zones. The radiative zone is characterized by high temperatures and dense plasma, which cause energy to bounce around in a game of cosmic pinball before eventually escaping as light. This process can take up to 100,000 years, as photons traverse this photon-packed arena. But the real excitement comes when the energy reaches the convective zone. Here, the Sun's outer layers churn like a boiling cauldron, carrying energy in the form of heat bubbles called convection cells. These cells transport heat and energy in a constant cycle, much like water boiling in a pot. Over the course of about 133 days, this energy-laden journey culminates as the released energy breaches the Sun's surface, bathing the solar system in the warmth of sunlight. Understanding this 133-day process is crucial not only for unraveling the Sun's mysteries but also for comprehending space weather and its impacts on Earth. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can wreak havoc on our planet's technological infrastructure, originate from the Sun's tumultuous surface. Monitoring the journey of energy from the core to the surface can provide insights into predicting and mitigating the potentially damaging effects of these solar events. As our understanding of the Sun deepens, so does our appreciation of its importance in sustaining life on Earth. The 133-day journey from the Sun's core to its surface is a testament to the intricate interplay between fundamental forces and processes that shape our universe. While the Sun's light reaches us in just over four months, the knowledge gained from studying its journey will continue to illuminate our understanding of the cosmos for generations to come.
