KnowraLunar librationLinked fromLinked fromThe 11 pages that link to Lunar libration, each with the reason it gives.All 11Broader topic 1Related 10Lunar laser rangingRelated: Libration changes reflector orientation and affects how efficiently corner cubes return light.Synodic monthRelated: Results from the Moon's varying orbital speed across the synodic cycle.Lunar monthRelated: Orbital eccentricity and changing speed also cause the lunar month’s duration to vary.Earth's MoonBroader topic: Libration reveals parts of the lunar far side beyond the hemisphere usually facing Earth.Lunar south poleRelated: Libration changes the geometry of sunlight near the pole without directly illuminating every crater floor.Lunar theoryRelated: Orbital eccentricity and inclination make the Moon’s physical motion depart from uniform rotation.Orbit of the MoonRelated: Uneven orbital speed and changing viewing geometry produce this rocking.SupermoonRelated: Its orbit’s varying speed and distance accompany changes in the Moon’s apparent presentation.Far side of the MoonRelated: Libration lets observers glimpse a little more than half of the Moon over time.SelenographyRelated: Libration expands the area visible from Earth beyond the near-side center.Near side of the MoonRelated: Libration brings parts of the far side temporarily into view around the near-side boundary.
