EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate internal structure of our beloved Moon. Created through computer artwork, it provides a glimpse into the geological wonders hidden beneath its surface. With a diameter of 3476 kilometres, this celestial body is composed of distinct layers that contribute to its unique characteristics. Starting with a solid core at its center, the Moon's interior extends outward to reveal a thick mantle layer enveloped by a crust. This composition distinguishes it from other planetary bodies in our solar system. Interestingly, despite being geologically dead and devoid of any atmosphere or geological activity, the Moon's surface still bears witness to countless meteorite impacts over billions of years. The image invites us on an astronomical journey as we explore the moon's geography and geographical features depicted in stunning detail. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly lifeless worlds lies an extraordinary history waiting to be unraveled. This remarkable illustration provided by Science Photo Library captures not only the scientific significance but also sparks curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or simply captivated by space exploration, this print offers both beauty and knowledge for all who gaze upon it.
