Galileo Images the Moon
This view of the Moons north pole is a mosaic assembled from 18 images taken by Galileos imaging system through a green filter as the spacecraft flew by on December 7, 1992. The left part of the Moon is visible from Earth; this region includes the dark, lava-filled Mare Imbrium (upper left); Mare Serenitatis (middle left); Mare Tranquillitatis (lower left), and Mare Crisium, the dark circular feature toward the bottom of the mosaic. Also visible in this view are the dark lava plains of the Marginis and Smythii Basins at the lower right. The Humboldtianum Basin, a 650-kilometer (400-mile) impact structure partly filled with dark volcanic deposits, is seen at the center of the image. The Moons north pole is located just inside the shadow zone, about a third of the way from the top left of the illuminated region

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Galileo's remarkable ability to capture the Moon's north pole in stunning detail. Composed of 18 individual images taken through a green filter, this mosaic offers us a glimpse into the lunar landscape as seen on December 7,1992. The left side of the Moon visible from Earth reveals several prominent features that have fascinated astronomers for centuries. The dark expanse of Mare Imbrium dominates the upper left corner, followed by Mare Serenitatis in the middle and Mare Tranquillitatis below it. Towards the bottom lies Mare Crisium, a distinct circular formation filled with darkness. As our eyes wander across this mesmerizing image, we can also spot two other significant lava plains: Marginis and Smythii Basins at the lower right. However, it is impossible to miss the central highlight - Humboldtianum Basin. This colossal impact structure stretches over an impressive distance of 650 kilometers (400 miles) and boasts volcanic deposits that add depth and intrigue to its appearance. Notably, Galileo managed to capture this extraordinary view just inside the shadow zone where sunlight barely reaches. It is here that we find ourselves drawn towards one-third down from the top left of this illuminated region - precisely where the Moon's enigmatic north pole resides. Thanks to Galileo's imaging system and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), we are granted an awe-inspiring perspective on our celestial neighbor like never before. Let your imagination take flight as you explore every intricate detail within this breathtaking lunar portrait.
