http://www.rc-astro.com/solar_system/moon/moon_colors.html<br /><br />Just wanted to bring your attention to this amazing image of the moon with exaggerated colour. Click on it for larger resolution. Great site too, excellent astronomy photographer.

Wasn't it Apollo 15 that found orange soil? Someone needs to plot A15's landing site on that pic and see just how orange they painted it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
