UK Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2019 Shortlist

A Titanium Moon. Miguel Claro (Portugal). In this RGB image the colour has been slightly increased, but it reveals the real appearance of the moon. The differences in the chemical constitution of the lunar surface and changes in mineral content can produce subtle colour variations in reflected light. The blue hues that can be seen on the seas like Mare Tranquillitatis or Mare Fecunditatis (right centre and edge) are areas rich in titanium. (Photo by Miguel Claro/National Maritime Museum)
