Lovely to see the progression :hamster: :bow have you ever taken a full disc on each day of the month and made an animation of the phases?

Thanks again guys

Alexandra: not yet but my friend Antonio Cidadao did a long time ago. His animation was APOS several times and it was done with a 6 bits webacam. It is very evident the variation of the moon diameter and the libration as well, check it out at:

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120205.html

Explanation: Our Moon's appearance changes nightly. This time-lapse sequence shows what our Moon looks like during a lunation, a complete lunar cycle. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the half illuminated by the Sun first becomes increasingly visible, then decreasingly visible. The Moon always keeps the same face toward the Earth. The Moon's apparent size changes slightly, though, and a slight wobble called a libration is discernible as it progresses along its elliptical orbit. During the cycle, sunlight reflects from the Moon at different angles, and so illuminates different features differently. A full lunation takes about 29.5 days, just under a month (moonth).
