How to explore Moon Libration 3D Explorer
Open the explorer and watch the Moon wobble to see why we view 59% of its surface despite tidal locking.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/moon-libration.html and wait for the wobbling Moon.
- Read the facts panel: libration in longitude (7.9 deg), latitude (6.7 deg), and the 59% figure.
- Watch the blue sub-Earth dot drift off-centre - that drift is the libration.
- Toggle Exaggerate 5x to make the wobble obvious, or highlight the libration zone.
- Compare with Moon Phases 3D for the lunar phases, or Tidal Locking 3D for why one face stays toward Earth.
Moon libration key figures
