Moon up close
The moon, when observed up close, reveals a stunning and intricate landscape that is often not visible from a distance. Astronauts who have been fortunate enough to visit the moon describe its surface as a desolate yet captivating expanse.From a closer vantage point, the moon's surface is covered in a layer of fine, powdery dust known as regolith. This regolith is the result of countless impacts by asteroids and meteoroids over billions of years. It gives the moon a unique texture, resembling a mixture of fine sand and gravel.
One of the most prominent features when viewing the moon up close is its craters. These impact scars come in various sizes, from small pockmarks to massive basins. Over time, some of these craters have been filled with lava, creating dark, flat regions known as maria. These maria contrast with the brighter highland regions, creating a distinct pattern on the moon's surface.
As you explore the moon's surface, you would notice that it lacks any significant atmosphere. This means there's no air to scatter sunlight, resulting in a pitch-black sky even during the daytime.
