Broad Region of Pink
south up image by Christian Arsidi, France
Christian stacked together 36 images to create a color mosaic of the entire nearside, but I selected only the bottom half of them to show you. I enhanced
the contrast, bringing out the subtle real color. While the different colors of lavas within Mare Imbrium are well known, Christian's image shows
a wide region of the northeast quadrant of the Moon has a delicate pink coloration. The pink runs from a portion of Sinus Roris, skips over to
eastern Imbrium and eastern and far eastern Frigoris, and Palus Somniorum. This pink area is perhaps the largest colored province on the Moon.
These natural pink soils are mapped as false color orange, low-titanium lavas in the famous Galileo multi-spectral mosaic.
