ମୁଁ, ଏହି କାମର ସତ୍ଵାଧିକାରୀ, ଏହାକୁ ପବ୍ଲିକ ଡୋମେନରେ ଏହାକୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଛି । ଏହା ଜଗତଯାକ ପାଇଁ ଲାଗୁ । କେତେକ ଦେଶରେ ଏହା ନ୍ୟାୟମତେ ଅନୁମୋଦିତ ହୋଇନପାରେ, ଯଦି ସେମିତି ହୁଏ: ମୁଁ, ଯେ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଆଇନରେ କିଛି ସର୍ତ୍ତ ଦରକାର ନ ପଡ଼େ ସେ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସଭିଙ୍କୁ କୌଣସି ବି ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ଏହ କାମଟିକୁ ନିସର୍ତ୍ତ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିବାକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦେଉଛି ।

• Book: "Astronomical Formulae for Calculators, 4th edition", Jean Meeus, 1988, published by "Willmann-Bell, Inc"
  • Chapter 30 "Position of the Moon"

Source bitmap for projection from NRL's Clementine Spacecraft:

• USGS: Global simple cylindrical projection at 10 km/pixel.

• Animation
  • 60 frames, 12 hour step.
  • Period used: 29.5 days
  • Animation began and ended near Apogee to minimize "jumping" when cycles back to the start.
  • New moon given an unreal 1% intensity "Ambient light" to show motion in all phases.
  • View assumed from the center of the earth. (Geometrically impossible, but best demonstration of monthly libration caused by moon's motion versus the shorter daily libration that would be included from the surface of the earth.)
