The mini-moon of March 5, 2015
The March 5, 2015 mini-moon, the apogee moon, the most distant full moon of 2015. Digitally enhanced with increased vibrance, saturation and contrast to exaggerate the subtle differences in color in the lunar maria, due to differences in the mineral content of the lava flows that formed the mare ~3.5 to 4 billion years ago. The relatively new impact crater, Tycho, is the bright area at bottom (south) on the luanr disk with bright splash rays emanating from the crater

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the mini-moon that graced our skies on March 5,2015. Known as the apogee moon, it held the title of being the most distant full moon of that year. Through digital enhancement techniques, this image has been transformed to emphasize the subtle variations in color within the lunar maria. The lunar maria are vast plains formed by ancient lava flows around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. These differences in mineral content give rise to a captivating array of hues across its surface. At the bottom (south) of the lunar disk lies Tycho, a relatively new impact crater shining brightly amidst dark surroundings. The striking splash rays emanating from Tycho add an extra touch of intrigue and wonder. With no people present in this photograph, it allows us to fully appreciate and immerse ourselves in this celestial spectacle. Against a black background, we witness nature's masterpiece unfold before our eyes - an awe-inspiring sphere suspended in space. As we explore every detail captured by Alan Dyer's lens, we can't help but marvel at how such a seemingly small object can hold so much mystery and fascination for humanity throughout history. This image serves as a reminder of our connection with the cosmos and ignites our curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries.
