This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2021 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.
