If you are a regular follower of the social media maintained by NASA, you are probably aware of the amazing photos and videos they share frequently. Now there is another addition to that list. This is an image created using a series of 53 images. What do you think came up?
In the comments shared with the image, NASA stated that it shows the northern region of our moon. They wrote, “Our Galileo spacecraft captured this fake color mosaic, created from a series of 53 images, as the spacecraft zoomed in on the northern region of our moon on December 7, 1992. The spacecraft was heading towards Jupiter. “
“Mosaics help us see differences in the northern hemisphere of the moon. The bright pink area is the lunar plateau, including the area around the lava-filled Crisium impact basin towards the bottom of the image. Shades of blue to orange indicate ancient lava flows To the left of Crisium is the dark blue Mare Tranquillitatis, the site of Apollo 11. It is richer in titanium than the green and orange areas above it. Thin soils rich in minerals associated with relatively recent meteor or asteroid impacts are represented in light blue ; they added that their crater was younger, they added a blue glow protruding from it. In the next few lines, they share more information about Galileo’s investigations.
