我们的月球并不是这样的。地球的月亮Luna并没有自然地呈现出这种丰富的纹理,它的颜色更加微妙。但这种数字创作是基于现实的。特征图像是由多幅图像合成而成,经过增强后得到真实的地表特征。例如,增强后的图像更清晰地显示了月球在其46亿年的历史中所经历的巨大撞击。黑暗的区域被称为海陆,陨石坑较少,曾经是熔岩的海洋。此外,图像的颜色,虽然基于月球的真实构成,但被改变和夸张。在这里,蓝色色调表示富含铁的区域,而橙色表示铝的略微过剩。尽管数十亿年来月球一直向地球展示同一面,但现代技术使人类能够更多地了解月球,以及它如何影响地球。

Our Moon doesn't really look like this. Earth's Moon, Luna, doesn't naturally show this rich texture, and its colors are more subtle. But this digital creation is based on reality. The featured image is a composite of multiple images and enhanced to bring up real surface features. The enhancements, for example, show more clearly craters that illustrate the tremendous bombardment our Moon has been through during its 4.6-billion-year history. The dark areas, called maria, have fewer craters and were once seas of molten lava. Additionally, the image colors, although based on the moon's real composition, are changed and exaggerated. Here, a blue hue indicates a region that is iron rich, while orange indicates a slight excess of aluminum. Although the Moon has shown the same side to the Earth for billions of years, modern technology is allowing humanity to learn much more about it -- and how it affects the Earth.
