salveo: The 2011 Astronomy Photographer of the Year Colourful Moon-3 by Eddie Trimarchi: To the naked eye here on Earth the Moon appears to be rather monochrome shades of grey, but different distributions of minerals in the lunar rock and soil actually give it very subtle colour variations which have been captured and enhanced in order to make them visible in this unusual image. Scientists often use techniques like these to study the geology and composition of lunar rocks, but here they also allow us to see the hidden beauty of our nearest neighbour in space.
