Wobble
image by Павел Пресняков (Pavel Presnyakov), Kiev Ukraine
Don't adjust your monitor, Pavel has created an animated gif from two of his excellent images of Copernicus, and their differences in libration cause rocking from side to side. There must be about the same change in latitudinal and longitudinal libration because the rocking is diagonal. If you feel this image may provoke sea-sickness, get your red-blue glasses and look at an anaglyph created by Yuri Goryachko.
