Full Moon. The dark grey areas are the lunar seas
Full Moon. The dark grey areas are the lunar seas, which formed early in the Moons history as lava (molten rock) flowed into large impact craters and solidified. The lighter areas are rocky highlands. In certain optical conditions, some areas of the Moon have a slight hue of colour, caused by the chemical composition of the lunar rocks.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Full Moon" showcases the mesmerizing lunar landscape in all its glory. The dark grey areas, resembling vast seas, are remnants of ancient lava flows that filled enormous impact craters and solidified over time. Contrasting with these lunar seas are the lighter rocky highlands, adding a textured beauty to the moon's surface. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is the subtle hint of color that can be observed under specific optical conditions. This slight hue is a result of the unique chemical composition found within the lunar rocks themselves. Taken from Brittany, France, this image offers a stunning perspective on our celestial neighbor. Its circular shape perfectly encapsulates the fullness of Earth's satellite as it illuminates our night sky. As we gaze at this single snapshot from space, we are reminded of the intricate wonders present within our solar system. The moon's craters and highlands tell stories of cosmic collisions and geological evolution that have shaped its appearance throughout history. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in selenography – showcasing both the familiar features and lesser-known details of our beloved moon.
