Moon Phases 2022 – Northern Hemisphere – 4K

This high-resolution 4K presentation illustrates the Moon's phase and libration with hourly updates throughout the year 2022. The perspective is that of an observer in the Northern Hemisphere. Each frame in the visualization represents a span of one hour. Alongside, the animation displays the Moon's orbital position, points of sub-Earth and subsolar illumination, and its accurate distance from Earth. The scale is maintained true to reality. Notably, craters located near the lunar terminator are identified, as well as significant features like Apollo landing sites and maria, all illuminated by sunlight. The video is attributed to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, with data visualization crafted by Ernie Wright (USRA), and production and editing overseen by David Ladd (AIMM). The musical accompaniment "Build the Future" is provided by Universal Production Music.
