AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a time lapse animation of lunar libration created from real photographs, rather than computer-generated images. The original poster emphasizes the need for actual photographic evidence, suggesting that capturing one frame per day from a consistent location on Earth could achieve this. They also propose that frames could be taken from various locations at the same latitude or from the North/South poles. Additionally, there is curiosity about the camera locations used in existing simulations. The quest for authentic lunar libration visuals continues, highlighting the challenges in sourcing real photographic content.

I have been trying to find a time lapse animation showing lunar libration made of actual real photographs of the Moon. However, no matter how much I search, I can only find computer-rendered animations. Does anybody know of a video made out of actual photographs of the real thing?

I think you would have to take one frame per day from the same point on Earth. Possibly you could also take frames from other locations at the same latitude and at the same local time.

Or possibly from N/S poles.

Where are the camera locations for the simulations?
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
