Description

The Mineral Moon

The Moon is dull and boring through naked eye and telescopic views, we generally notice two zones: The Terrae and Maria, respectively the lighter and darker zones, Latin of Highlands and Seas.

In this color-boosted image, the colors themselves represent the various types of iron and mineral deposits represented as below:

- Blue hues for areas rich in Titanium-bearing minerals

- Pink hues for iron-poor, aluminum-rich feldspars

- Orange and purple for areas that are relatively poor in both Titanium and Iron

Under the hood:
