Description Water Around Fresh Moon Crater.jpg |
English:
These images show a very young lunar crater on the side of the moon that faces away from Earth, as viewed by NASA's
Moon Mineralogy Mapper
on the
Indian Space Research Organization's
Chandrayaan-1
spacecraft. On the left is an image showing brightness at shorter
infra-red
wavelengths. On the right, the distribution of water-rich minerals (light blue) is shown around a small crater. Both water- and
hydroxyl
-rich materials were found to be associated with material ejected from the crater.
