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.)

          • 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. :)

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
