![]() ![]() Below are some of the supposedly genuine Bellcomm Apollo 10 Photo Debriefings that they often quote to support their theory: Perhaps what is more interesting is that true colors of the Moon is also a hot topic among conspiracy theorists who believe that Apollo astronauts indeed saw Moon as something colorful, however NASA is covering it up for some unknown reason. It is also interesting to observe that at the impact crater sites the deeper minerals are exposed & scattered by the impacts, and different compositions of minerals can be seen in contrasting colors compared to the material on the original surface. Orange and purple indicate regions that are relatively poor in titanium and iron. Pink colors indicate iron-poor, aluminum-rich feldspars (which is a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals) that make up the lunar highlands. The dark bluesindicate that those areas are richer in titanium-bearing minerals. ![]() Blue and orange shades indicate volcanic lava flows. Other than making an interesting aesthetic presentation, these enhanced lunar colors also give clues as to the mineralogy of the Moon’s surface, and the chemical composition of the lunar rocks. However note that you would need high resolution raw images of the Moon to boost the saturation to enhance subtle color contrasts to produce colorful lunar images similar to these, otherwise you will end up with poor quality images with lot of random color noise. Note that the hues are still real & no artificial colors were added, it’s just that enhanced saturation is giving much more vivid images. In these lunar images, color saturationhas been enhanced to bring out the subtle differences in colors of the various areas of the lunar surface. I was pretty much inspired by ‘enhanced’ color images of the Moon, and wanted to see if I could also produce something similar with much less expensive equipment. The lunar surface actually does have quite a bit of color, although in reality it is very subtle. Take a look at these images & decide for yourself:Ĭan the Moon really be this colorful? In a way, yes. So, is it really a colorless, barren land as everyone commonly believes? Have you ever seen the true colors of the Moon? Both in photographs taken from the Earth and in close-ups of the lunar surface taken by Apollo astronauts, the Moon is colored in blacks, whites and grays, with no blues, reds, or other colors to brighten the view. ![]()
