This is a cool animation put together by the folks at the NASA
Goddard Science Visualization Studio which shows our view of the
moon for the 2012 year using a rate of a “shot” an hour. Folks
at the NASA GSFC Scientific Visualization Studio created this
amazing animation showing our view of the Moon over the entire
year of 2012 with time resolution of *one hour*! The tipping,
tilting, and rocking are due to the Moon’s elliptical orbit
coupled with its tilt. I explain this using captions in the
video itself. For more information, see this article at the
Discovery Magazine website.
