“Lunation” is copyrighted by Antnio Cidad�o. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Moon's appearance changes nightly over a lunation, a full lunar cycle. As it orbits Earth, the sunlit portion becomes more, then less, visible. The Moon always shows the same face to Earth, but its apparent size shifts slightly. A wobble called libration is also visible as it moves along its elliptical orbit.
