Colourful Moon Mosaic
No exposure can capture the faceted moon, though this composite shows some of its amazing colours (as well as the surrounding stars). By piecing together fifteen different, high resolution images of a gibbous moon, the colours can been seen. Though the colours are very dramatic, they represent the many-chemical surfaces with varying compositions such as Th, K, FeO, and Clementine 750. With the naked eye the colour changes aren't noticable, a dramatic lunar show can still be wittnessed; a partial eclipse can be seen from Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
