MOON IN COLOR

BEST DETAIL: https://www.astrobin.com/full/421048/0/
( I ASK FRIENDS TO OPEN THE LINK AND PUT IN FULL RESOLUTION)

The moon is usually seen in subtle shades of gray or yellow.
The different colors are recognized to correspond to actual differences in the chemical composition of the lunar surface. Blue hues reveal areas rich in ilmenite, which contains iron, titanium and oxygen, mainly titanium, while orange and purple show relatively poor titanium and iron regions.

White areas are taller areas that are most exposed to the sun.
Trips to the moon have already been indicated by similar images.

Great pictures, Kfir Simon!

You might want to add the names of the objects so that we can see them on the Starship Asterisk* page.

I also think you may have mixed up the designation of the beautiful patch of nebulosity that you describe as IC 2247 on your homepage. When I checked out IC 2247 with my software, I found myself looking at a faint galaxy in Cancer.
