Faint Color Speculation
image by Павел Пресняков (Pavel Presnyakov), Kiev Ukraine
Regional scale color mosaics have been made by a number of imagers, but high resolution color views of individual features are less common. This one made by Pavel of the highlands crater Tycho has much more subtle color variations than maria views but had enough to cause me to look again, more carefully at a familiar scene. I've made the color differences more dramatic than Pavel did to emphasize the bright material just outside the rim. Along the north side of the rim, the wispy bright streamers are not radial to the rim but are angled about 45° to the east. There is much less of the wispy whiteness on the south side of the rim, but it also streams outward toward the east. We have seen Chuck Wood
