What Makes Up the Moon
In 1992, the Jupiter-bound Galileo spacecraft made a pass by our planet's closest companion, the moon. This mosaic of 53 images shows the different composition of rocks on the moon's surface. Blue and orange colors represent lava flows, bright pink areas are highlands, and light blue colors indicate recent impact material with the youngest craters showing blue rays extending away from them.
