Mosaic of Mineral-rich gibbous Moon in High Resolution

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Click and zoom in to enjoy the lunar features in high resolution, Our Natural Satellite is around 4.5 billion years old, moon's surface has many features, including Mountains, Valleys, Craters, and Maria, in this high-resolution image of the moon one can see all these features also by zooming into the image one can see the fine details of Rilles, Wrinkle ridges, Escarpments, Mountainous capes and Chain of craters. Visually the color of the moon is somewhat seen in shades of grey but due to the different mineral composition, one can bring out the true colors in post-processing, blue and orange shades indicate volcanic lava flows, the dark blues indicate that those areas are richer in titanium-bearing minerals., pink colors indicate iron-poor, aluminum-rich minerals that make up the lunar highlands. Orange and purple indicate regions that are relatively poor in titanium and iron.

This image is a Mosaic of 19 separate panels each was stacked with 2500 frames and stitched together and enhanced the actual colors on the moon.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
