Lunar libration #877
Comments
I know, and I have started working on it months ago. However, numbers will be shown only when the planet axes algorithms work correctly. It should obviously also be possible to show solar elevation for selected surface features, solar colongitude, and more such data. |
* Accurate planet axis orientation and rotation (Fix #151, Fix #347, Fix #357, Fix #358, Fix #1261, Fix #877, Fix #973) - Finally finished this long-duration work 2016-21 - Using data from WGCCRE reports 2009, 2015 and Explanatory Supplement to the AA 2013 (with error fixed by the 1992 ed.) - Keeps original Stellarium planet rotation model (undocumented) where new rotation elements are unavailable - Slight restructuring of Planets, Comets, MinorPlanets, SolarSystem loader. - Add lines for the Invariable Plane and Projected Solar Equator - Add solar altitude to planetary feature nomenclature - SUG: Describe planetary coordinates and changes in the nomenclature display.

Lunar libration in latitude and longitude would be a neat addition to the infostring that shows when selecting the Moon. It could be useful for those who plan on viewing features close to the lunar limb, such as Mare Orientale and craters around the lunar north pole.
