Lunar surface, artwork
Lunar surface. Computer artwork of a view across the surface of the Moon towards Earth in the distance. The Moon has no atmosphere to scatter sunlight, as a result the lunar sky appears black at any time of day. Another consequence of the lack of an atmosphere is that surface temperatures vary widely, from 100 degrees Celsius during the day to minus 170 degrees Celsius at night. It is thought that the surface is buried under a 16 miles thick layer of shattered rock, dust, and debris from over four billion years of meteorites, micrometeorites, and comets striking the moons surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lunar surface in all its desolate beauty. The computer artwork captures a breathtaking view across the Moon towards Earth, with our planet appearing distant yet mesmerizing. Due to the absence of an atmosphere on the Moon, sunlight is not scattered, resulting in a pitch-black sky regardless of the time of day. The image also highlights one of the many consequences of this lack of atmosphere: extreme temperature variations. During daylight hours, surface temperatures soar to a scorching 100 degrees Celsius, only to plummet to a bone-chilling minus 170 degrees Celsius at nightfall. It is believed that beneath this rugged landscape lies a hidden layer composed of shattered rock, dust, and debris accumulated over billions of years from meteorites, micrometeorites, and comets colliding with the Moon's surface. This regolith layer stretches an astonishing 16 miles deep. Every detail in this illustration emphasizes both the barrenness and geological complexity present on our nearest celestial neighbor. From dusty craters dotting rocky terrain to jagged landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see - it truly encapsulates lunar geology at its finest. This remarkable piece by Science Photo Library invites viewers into an astrogeological wonderland within our solar system while reminding us just how vast and enigmatic space truly is.
