==Description==
  The outer limit of the Moon's surface potentially observable from a given site. If the Moon were uniformly illuminated, the '''limb''' would form a complete circle, but a bumpy one (due to the topography). In practice, a substantial part of the '''limb''' (about half) is usually in shadow ("beyond" the [[terminator|terminator]]), and hence not readily observable. Nonethless the presence of the '''limb''' at these locations is made apparent when the Moon moves over ("occults") a more distant celestial object. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br /> <br />

Limb

(glossary entry)

Description

The outer limit of the Moon's surface potentially observable from a given site. If the Moon were uniformly illuminated, the limb would form a complete circle, but a bumpy one (due to the topography). In practice, a substantial part of the limb (about half) is usually in shadow ("beyond" the terminator), and hence not readily observable. Nonethless the presence of the limb at these locations is made apparent when the Moon moves over ("occults") a more distant celestial object. - JimMosher

Additional Information

  • See also: Saber's Beads (a curious optical phenomenon related to the very young and extremely thin moon's crescent, or the very old (immediately after and/or before New Moon). - DannyCaes Feb 12, 2008


LPOD Articles

(mostly photographs and drawings made during favourable libration)

  • This "around the Moon's orb" list is an overview of Limb/ Librations-related LPODs, arranged in a "clockwise" fashion; running from the moon's North pole to the North-Eastern limb, the Eastern limb, the South-Eastern limb, the South pole, the South-Western limb, the Western limb, the North-Western limb, and finally to the North pole again.
