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. :)

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
