Waxing gibbous Moon, computer-enhanced
Waxing gibbous Moon, computer-enhanced image. The colour saturation of this image has been enhanced to accentuate the natural variation in colour of the Moons surface. This brings out the differences in surface composition, which reveals that the Moons surface comprises many different minerals. For instance, deep craters excavate bright material from below the surface, and distribute it across the surface. The Moon is said to be waxing when it is increasing in apparent size. A gibbous Moon is one that is between half and totally full

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a waxing gibbous Moon, enhanced using computer technology. The image has been carefully saturated to highlight the natural variation in color across the lunar surface, revealing its rich composition of minerals. As we gaze at this celestial wonder, we can observe deep craters excavating bright material from beneath the surface and distributing it across the Moon's face. The term "waxing" refers to the Moon's increasing apparent size as it moves towards becoming full. A gibbous Moon is one that lies between half and totally full, displaying a rounded shape that enchants us with its captivating allure. Through selenography, or lunar mapping, scientists have uncovered that our nearest neighbor in space comprises numerous different minerals. This false-colored image allows us to appreciate these variations by accentuating their unique hues and textures. Taken on April 18th, 2005, this photograph serves as a reminder of our fascination with space exploration and our ongoing quest to understand Earth's closest companion in the solar system. It invites us to marvel at the intricate details etched upon its cratered surface while contemplating humanity's enduring curiosity about worlds beyond our own.
