| − | <p>Some LPODs are scientific lessons, others are high resolution wonders and others are just gorgeous. This portion of an entire [[mooncolor.jpg|crescent]] falls in the latter category. This color view of a tapering southwest limb has good resolution and depicts many interesting features: do you see Bailly, the Schiller-Zucchius basin and the reflective Wargentin? But what I like are the colors, especially the silver-blue of crater rims that give the hint of a fantasy moon with snow at high elevations. And the tan hues - darkening to a muddy bronze in Schiller - remind me of perhaps the most evocative map of the Moon ever, the Klepesta and Lukes 1960 <em>[http://www.lpod.org/cwm/Timeline/1960s/1961-klepseta.html Map of the Moon]</em> - why isn’t there an image of it online?.</p> | + | <p>Some LPODs are scientific lessons, others are high resolution wonders and others are just gorgeous.
