See it on NASA's siteThis detailed mosaic of the Moon shows enhanced colors, revealing differences in the chemical makeup of its surface. The image was taken just before July's first Full Moon, showing bright rays extending from craters. These rays are ejecta from impacts, spread across the lunar surface. The Moon's varied colors hint at its complex geological history.
