An unpublished detailed photo of the moon was released by two astrophotographers, Andrew McCarthy and Connor Mathern. There is an explosion of colors in photography red as well as blue gunmetal, avoiding the typical metallic gray that people see from Earth.
According to astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy, the red spots are reproductions of iron and feldspar oxidized by stray oxygen atoms from Earth. Although they don’t look real, these colors represent the true hues of the moon, however our eyes aren’t sensitive enough to see them, so they’ve increased the saturation slightly to bring out the colors in the image.

Astrophotographers have different specialties. Meanwhile, McCarthy specializes in detailed photography, taking tens of thousands of photographs to capture every crack and crater on the lunar surface; Mathern, a planetary scientist and space photographer, colorized the image.
How the image was created
The work was formed from an impressive overlay of over 200,000 mission-inspired photographs taken in a single night. Artemis NASA, which will soon send people back to the moon after almost 50 years. On Twitter, McCarthy stated that “the image is a love letter to the upcoming Artemis 1 mission, the first human-designated lunar launch vehicle in 50 years.”
