Description

Version 1. This is a three-panel mosaic. Each is made from a 1000 frame video. Note the prominent ray systems of crater Menelaus near Mare Serenitatis and Proclus near Mare Crisium.

Version 2. The dark material on the lunar surface in Mare Tranquillitatis is associated with 1 - 10% titanium - as shown by spectroscopy from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and analysis of lunar samples. In this image, I created an inverted mask with a color selection layer based on this material and made it blue as is commonly shown in false color lunar images (e.g.https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasacommons/9460965180). Take a look in full resolution.
