Moon phases circular panel

Moon phases circular panel
by Carlo Paschetto

Product Details

13 Moon phases taken from the latitude of approx. 45°N at UTC+1 (Central European Time), mounted on aluminium panel.

Original surface colors have been slightly boosted to highlight mineral composition of lunar rocks. The different colors are recognized to correspond to real differences in the chemical composition of the lunar surface. Blue tones correspond to area rich in ilmenite, which contains iron, titanium and oxygen, mainly titanium, while the orange and purple colors show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron.

The actual illumination of each phase at the time it was shot is:

• Waxing Moon: 14%, 28%, 42%, 56%, 70%, 84%
  
• Full Moon: 100%
• Waning Moon: 84%, 70%, 56%, 42%, 28%, 14%
