Sunset on the Moon

Sunsets and sunrises on the moon set to Claude Debussy's best-known composition, Clair de Lune (moonlight in French).

The visualization uses a digital 3D model of the Moon built from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter global elevation maps and image mosaics. The lighting is derived from actual Sun angles during lunar days in 2018.
