Three locations (top nav bar):
SHACKLETON (?loc=shackleton, default) — Artemis III site, permanently shadowed crater, Earth bobs ±7° on horizon, sun events say "SUN ABOVE RIM" / "SUN BELOW RIM"
TRANQUILITY (?loc=tranquility) — Apollo 11, looking straight up at Earth at 67°, no horizon, 60° FOV
ORIENTALE (?loc=orientale) — Western limb, Earth on horizon, full day/night cycle with golden hour and earthshine
Earth rotation — EPIC image rotates 15°/hour based on actual capture timestamp. Continents visibly move across the disk over hours.
