Earth observations from the Moon's surface: dependence on lunar libration
Abstract ∘ (the angular size varies due to the change in the Earth–Moon distance). The libration of the Moon in latitude reaches an amplitude of 6.68∘ and has a main period of 27.21 d (or 653.1 h). The libration of the Moon in longitude, reaching an amplitude of 7.9∘, has a period of 27.55 d (or 661.3 h). This causes the center of the Earth to move in the Moon's sky in a rectangle measuring 13.4∘ × ∘. The trajectory of the Earth's motion in this rectangle changes its shape within a period of 6 years. This apparent librational movement of the Earth in the Moon's sky complicates observations of the Earth. This paper proposes that this disadvantage be turned into an advantage and that a multi-slit spectrometer be placed on the Moon's surface on a fixed platform. The libration motion and the daily rotation of the Earth will act as a natural replacement for the scanning mechanism.
