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. :)

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
