The Moon and Mare Crisium
“A sharp mosaic of Mare Crisium, an isolated lava plain near the Moon's eastern limb, along the terminator.”
Mare Crisium, a roughly 550-kilometer lava plain isolated from the Moon’s other major maria, sits along the terminator in this capture, its smooth floor contrasting sharply with the dense, ancient cratering of the surrounding highlands.
Captured as a two-pane mosaic through an IR-pass filter, stacked in AutoStakkert!3, and processed in PixInsight.
