# Moon Phase and Libration, 2026 (SVS5587 - moon orbit 2026 1080p30)

An "overhead" diagram of the Moon's orbit around the Earth. A thin, tapering white line is the path of the Moon in the previous month. A blue-green racetrack represents the range of the Moon's distance and the plane of its orbit relative to the ecliptic; it is darker where it dips below the ecliptic plane. Apses and nodes are labeled. A yellow arrow points toward the Sun.
