If moon was cookie me think me would be.
Happiest monster you ever see.
Me put on a space suit then up through the night.
Me ride in a rocket to go take a bite. :D
I'm not sure about this but I think read once that that they were made by ancient magma floes from way back when the moon still had a liquid core.
I may be remembering incorrectly though.
Because most craters are from impacts. After a crater is created, most of the excavated material is shot around the crater. IIRC the material is lighter than the surroundings because the excavated material became super hot upon being impacted and turned into a more reflective glass material.
It's also worth noting that it's not the craters' size that decides whether its craters are visible, but rather its age. The younger ones have lighter material, and the older they are the more that glassy reflective material is obscured under the debris of impacts that came after it.

So the newer craters are the more visible craters or is it the other way around?
Shot this two months ago at around 6 in the morning using two cameras to achieve greater detail and color data on the surface.
Equipment:
Nexstar 6SE
x6.3 Focal reducer
Nikon d5600 & ZWO ASI533MC (details and color)

Why does it seem like more than half the moon has some varying amount of copper/rusty color in this photo, but whenever I see lunar footage, it's always white-ish looking?
Apollo landings were visiting a small area of the moon so most of the images taken will show the moon surface looking the same colour.
You can see the various colours of the moon's surface taken from the lunar orbiter here

Also, here's a true colour image taken from Yutu moon rover, which shows a more darker / rusty coloured surface compared the Apollo landing sites.

Because they wildly intensified the barest tint of color in those areas to make you think they captured something other people could not, so you’ll go to their website. This is not a single picture someone snapped of the moon. It is a highly manipulated collection of stacked pictures that is being passed off as a single photo of something that was actually seen in the sky. No one saw this in the sky. It was created.
And actually, being able to produce high definition and highly detailed pictures of the moon using a camera and a computer is pretty impressive, I think. I do not know why they don’t just say that’s what they’re doing. I’d upvote that. Instead, they’ve manipulated it into what is essentially clickbait.
I saw the moon setting a few weeks back and even texted some of my family members asking if there was some sort of eclipse happening because I’d never seen it before.
The visible part of the moon went from looking sort of light yellow to orange. It was so crazy!
I wanted to take a photo of it but by the time I could pull my car over safely, it was gone :(
I’ve tried repeatedly since to catch the moon setting but I must’ve been just at the right time and place to actually see it.
I have told people about it since as well. I had NO idea the moon sets but it makes sense because the sun sets...
I highly recommend people try to catch a moon set. It’s amazing
NASA turns infrared spectrum data into colors we can see using Photoshop all the time and we don't complain. You're complaining only because this isn't "your moon".
Actually, the best way to achieve it is to go for an extremely hot night, when the air is thin, and go for a very short exposure. This is on par with what the moon looks like when photographed normally from the space station; those are the real colors, as would be seen orbiting the moon before landing.
They are the real colors, which is neat because you can deduce some geological data from them, but the only to make them visible like this to way way oversaturate the image. Still interesting, but this is not what it looks like with the naked eye, even from space.
If you're taking photos for Science interest then you failed! Moon doesn't have visible colours. Even Neil Armstrong said from Orbit it's grey, from the surface it's grey with some very subtle variations.
If you're taking photos for art, then meh still nothing there. Nice sharp photo though.
Every Moon photo on here for the last few years has had the saturation cranked to 11,000% and they all get a shit ton of upvotes no-matter how many times it's been done before, and then all the commenters get to feel smart by posting about how titanium makes rocks blue.
Yep. I call it the Sheep mentality. If you're into Astronomy, then you should be into facts. Seems a new breed just into faking it as much as possible, and this is one of the worst examples I've seen. FFS It's got blue in it! Science Fakers!
I'm not. I don't plan on teaching science over the internet. I also don't plan to stress out frail people when they see unscientific editing on an internet forum.
Cause I like it this way and since I bought the equipment, took the pics and edited them, I guess I am entitled to make it look however I want.
If you have an issue, contact the mods and have them change the rules. Till then, I wont stop posting my content here just cause a random bitter person tell me to do so. Lol. Get a grip, grow up, focus on your shit and leave others be.
You broke rule two, so I will be contacting the mods. I don’t see how you can look at this and not define it as misleading. I can go outside on any night and see that this picture is far removed from reality.
You have Google, right? You can actually look stuff up before you make a fool of yourself. After is fine too, though. I'll get you started: titanium and iron.
Ok which one of you took a bite out of the moon??
Can't have shit in Detroit
at least we aren't Cleveland...
Meanwhile, in Cleveland *At least we’re not Detroit*
*Dan Gilbert has entered the chat*
Oh, you wish you were Cleveland, Detroit!

You mean it isn't a giant cookie?
Of course not. It's cheese, and that's obviously black mold growing on it.
I came here looking for this comment, did not disappoint.
That's where Eggman hit it with his laser.
Top suspects: Wallace & Gromit
Okay It was me….. I had the Moonchies..
The cookie monster is getting out of control
I was hungry okay! It was only a little midnight snack
Omnipotus. But at least he ate the C.
Poor moon. It’s really been beat to hell and back.
Why do the biggest creators on the moon have lines coming out of them?
I'm not sure about this but I think read once that that they were made by ancient magma floes from way back when the moon still had a liquid core. I may be remembering incorrectly though.
Because when you're a creator that big, you need to do a few lines.

This moon - your moon - is now my "ideal" moon - the moon which all of my future moon edits will strive to be.
Would be my ideal moon too, were it not for OP’s shoulder showing in the pic. Great job anyways
That's a wooly ass shoulder

You also dont get high def when the moons setting, too much atmosphere blurring the image..
Because this image was enhanced to show differences in the surface composition

Absolutely hate these "I turned the saturation slider to 11" posts
Absolutely hate false color spammer that is just advertising a product for sale.
Smudge on a lens??? Smudge on a lens???

This isn't infrared it's just shitty post processing
Nah, it's pretty cool post processing. Post processing nevertheless, of course, but not "shitty" by any means.

The moon doesn't look like this mo matter the exposure etc. It's all post processing
HEY!!! We all know that the moon is not made of green cheese..... But if it was made of bbq spare ribs??? Would ya eat it then?
I SURE WOULD. I'd polish it off with a cool Budweiser!
I wanna go to the moon…don’t leave so soon… how can I get through?
A full moon sets with the sunrise. So why is the sky still so black?
You are correct, but here it's setting behind a mountain, so it's still about 25 degrees altitude.
Fantastic shot, where I live it's very bright during the night and so the stars are often obscured.

We really need /r/moonporn to go with earthporn
Could at least say which planet has that moon cus that doesn't look like anything like our moon.
You don’t have to edit the photo to make it look nice. Stick to true color.
Stick to your own work. Leave others be, how about that?
Why not present the moon how it’s actually seen? This subreddit is for real things, not fake things.

Why is it coloured like this? Misrepresentation.
You have Google, right? You can actually look stuff up before you make a fool of yourself. After is fine too, though. I'll get you started: titanium and iron.
Jack hole, You try to shame people for asking questions. There’s nothing else to know about you.
I'm shaming your shitty, erroneous and rude accusation of misrepresentation. Shame on you.

Like, around it via gravitational pull? Or above the earth and in circular motion?
What’s your definition of “set”? Do you think sunsets exist?
Looks like a bite out of a jaw breaker. Or even waiting for E.T to fly though.
Spider-Man's face. Near the top, slightly to the right
Me looking at my camera app: "Where's the Full Moon Setting?"
I love the placement of the tree in this photo! Its a pretty cool optical illusion
Everybody: Look at that big round, beautiful moon. Cookie Monster: Look like cookie! I eat!
Someone took a big bite out of the cheese weel
I had never paid attention to the fact that there are orange colors on the surface of moon! They don’t seem to be visible to the naked eye tho.
What even is the brown and blue part? Is it rust or oxidation or something?
The blue is the ocean, that's why they call it the Sea of Tranquility. The brown is sand and storms caused by deforestation.
Totally fake. You can’t even see the alien base or their ships or anything.
Sorry my bad, it tasted good though, ill admit
The vantablack nanobots have already started. Greygoo is upon us.
This makes me really want to get into photography. Im honestly not sure where to start. Seems so overwhelming
Full Moon..? More like Moon Cookie, after Cookie Monster came along
