By BRUNO ROTA SARGI

The mineral Moon is an astrophotography approach that highlights the compositional differences on the lunar surface, revealing variations in mineral content. Titanium-rich areas appear in cooler tones, while regions with higher iron concentrations stand out with warmer hues. This technique unveils the Moon's geological diversity, allowing for the identification of specific features in the maria and highlands. It is widely used for educational and artistic purposes, showcasing the mineral richness of our natural satellite.
