The Moon: an hour-by-hour Time Lapse Visualization for a Full Year!
Wanna know what the Moon will look like over the course of an entire year? The folks at the NASA GSFC Scientific Visualization Studio created this amazing animation showing our view of the Moon over the entire year with time resolution of *one hour*! The tipping, tilting, and rocking are due to the Moon's elliptical orbit coupled with its tilt. This video says 2012, but considering that was first posted on March 1, 2011, I presume the images are from the year before...?
