Sunrise on Copernicus
Here is a sequence of images taken over 4 hours of the Sun rising over Copernicus. The Moon rotates once every 27.3 days, so the Sun appears to travel through the Moon's sky 27.3 times more slowly than we see it here on Earth. The equivalent sequence of shots, if Copernicus was on Earth, would only be 9 minutes.
Thanks for looking,
Tom
