Moon Phases – Northern Hemisphere – 4K

Presented in 4K resolution, this visualization provides a comprehensive display of the Moon's phase and vibration observed from the Northern Hemisphere, spanning the entire year of 2021. The progression occurs at hourly intervals, with each frame depicting a single hour. Furthermore, the visualization accurately portrays the Moon's orbital placement, along with its sub-Earth and subsolar points, maintaining a true scale representation of its distance from Earth. Notably, craters situated near the terminator are identified, as well as significant landmarks like Apollo landing sites, maria, and illuminated albedo features.
