In one of the answers of this entertaining question on Physics.SE, there is a link to this awesome demonstration of the libration of the moon:




Animation of the moons librations




You can see the date stamp at the top that goes from Apr. 3 2007 to Apr 30 2007.



Why, if these are real, doesn't the moon go through its phases during the month-long time-lapse photo session?

          This image is software generated, according to its Wikimedia page:




          • Own work, created with "Full Sky Observatory"

          • Source bitmap for projection from Nasa's Clementine Spacecraft



          You can see some pixelization happening at the very bottom and top of the moon. Another dead giveaway is the fact that the moon in the image is full for the entire month.



          (This, of course, doesn't mean that moon liberations aren't real. For a trusted source see NASA, which has a similar simulator.)

          • So the imagery is computer-generated... but it would still be interesting to know if they're correct.

          • Thanks, +1! To be clear, I was asking if the photos (which now are shown to not be photos) were real, not if *librations" themselves were real. I'm a believer. :)
