In this video, I capture the moon every day for a lunar month to show how the moon appears to wobble from our vantage point. This is an optical and physical effect called libration. I use my telescopes at home and in my observatory to capture the moon.

Great work on explaining libration! Astrophotographers often dismiss the moon, they shouldn’t. The moon is richly amazing!

The Physicha libration is due the "Moon - Earth" center of the mass wich is not in the dead center, reletevely speaking to the Earth sphere, and tidal force "inverted". Both combined constantly slap the Moon back and forth.

This was awesome! Love not only the photography, but the observational science as well.

Very interesting video Bray explaining the “wobble’ of the moon. Looks like it was quite a lot of work but the resulting animation was worth it I think.

Looking at the vibration is one of the facinating thing ....🎉❤❤❤

Your graphics are definitely better than how I tried to explain the lunar libration wobbling to someone.

Wow! I didn't know any of this, learned a ton. Very well put together, thanks!

That's cool. We had a period of really stable weather here in September, so I managed to get half a moon cycle, from full moon to new moon, from exactly the same place with exactly the same equipment. The advantage was that I didn't have to size match and could actually show the size change. The obvious downsides were getting up to take pictures later and later every day, so I really sympathise with you on that one, and my series being limited on how long the fair weather lasted. But it gave me a crazy idea. Doing this from day to day makes for rather large jumps in moon phases and libration, and a quite short, choppy video. It would be amazing to get together a whole bunch of people all over the world and get high quality pictures of the moon every two hours or so for an entire lunar month. Definitely ambitious, and it still leaves the problem of parallax, but still, I hope someone maybe manages to organise and pull this off. The results should be quite spectacular.
