Reddit analyzes the “clearest” lunar image
Mirza’s “clearer” photo of the Moon was posted on Reddit, sparking a debate among astronomy and photography enthusiasts.
One user questioned whether the colours in Mirza’s image were representative of the actual metals and minerals on the Moon, to which another user responded that they were not what the human eye would naturally perceive.
“The saturation has been increased to highlight geological differences on the lunar surface,” the user explained, adding that reddish areas indicate high iron and feldspar content, while blue-tinged areas have higher titanium content. “Rather than seeing the colors as ‘real’ or ‘fake,’ it is more accurate to think of them as a tool that simulates what one might see with enhanced detection capabilities.”
