tonight is a full moon... enjoy 
This time-lapse sequence shows what our Moon looks like during a complete lunar cycle. The Moon always keeps the same face toward the Earth, and its apparent size changes slightly. It also has a discernable wobble (libration) as it travels along its elliptical orbit. A full lunation takes about 29.5 days, just under a month... so fascinating...
