<p>Where I can find a graph of the apparent rotation of the illuminated portion of the moon against the horizon in a single day? And is there a place where I can read about all the variations which dictate this angle?</p>

[Mooncalc.org](https://www.mooncalc.org) offers a pretty comprehensive set of tools for viewing the moon. Click on the location you want, then drag the slider on top through the day to see which direction's sky the moon will be in (or times where it will not be visible).

I'm not an astronomer, but [this article from Goddard Space Flight Center](https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4404) looks like it offers a very solid discussion of [libration](https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=define%20libration&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8), and the causes due to moon's orbit, the relative location of the moon from different viewing locations, and the tilt of the Earth in relation to the sun.
