Moon Phase and Libration🌙

Supermoons:

March 18, 2022: The year kicked off with a spectacular supermoon, where the full moon appeared larger and brighter than usual because it was at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
Total Lunar Eclipse:

May 16-17, 2022: A total lunar eclipse occurred, visible from various parts of the world. During this celestial event, the Earth passed directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow and giving the Moon a reddish hue.
Partial Solar Eclipse:

November 8, 2022: A partial solar eclipse occurred, visible from some parts of North America and the North Atlantic.
Librations:

Throughout 2022, the Moon exhibited libration, which allowed observers on Earth to see a little more of the lunar surface, especially along the edges. This gradual tilting and rocking motion offered opportunities to explore lunar features that are typically hidden from view.
Phases and Illumination:

The Moon went through its usual phases, including the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, creating a cycle of changing lunar illumination that varied throughout the year.
Meteor Showers and Lunar Phases:

Observers could also enjoy meteor showers, such as the Perseids in August and the Geminids in December, which provided opportunities to see shooting stars against the backdrop of various lunar phases
