Moon Phases 2022 – Southern Hemisphere

This high-resolution 4K presentation provides a comprehensive depiction of the Moon's phase and libration throughout the entirety of 2022. The perspective is from the Southern Hemisphere, and each frame corresponds to a single hour. This visualization not only displays the Moon's orbital position, but it also indicates the points on its surface directly under the Earth and the Sun. The accurate scale is maintained for showing the Moon's distance from Earth. Notably, craters situated near the dividing line between the illuminated and dark portions of the Moon are marked, along with the locations of Apollo moon landings, maria (dark, flat areas on the lunar surface), and other features with differing levels of reflectivity that are visible under sunlight.
