The_Earth_from_Clementine-000.jpg400 - The Earth from Clementine192 visiteView of the full Earth taken by Clementine while orbiting the Moon. This image is a mosaic of color, HR frames. Africa is clearly visible on the right and South America is visible on the left. This is a “false-color” version that makes vegetation appear red".
Image processing by United States Geological Survey (USGS), Flagstaff, Arizona

Nota: la vegetazione, in questo frame ed in accordo a quanto l'USGS stessa dice in chiare lettere, appare rossa (mentre dovrebbe essere di un bel color verde scuro) mentre le sabbie dei deserti - e questo lo diciamo noi - appaiono di color arancio-giallo (e dovrebbero vedersi esattamente come si vedono).
Curiosa questa "alterazione cromatica selettiva" in virtù della quale alcuni colori cambiano radicalmente mentre altri restano quello che sono.
Pensate adesso alle fotografie amatoriali di Marte ottenute da Terra ed a quelle "professionali&scientifiche" ottenute dall'HST e dalle Sonde che girano attorno al Pianeta Rosso. Colta la provocazione?!? Fateci sapere...

MoonEclypse.JPG025 - Sun-Eclypse from Clementine55 visiteThis Startracker image shows the Moon eclipsing the Sun; the bright crescent Earth is partially visible at left, saturating the sensor.
The image was captured during orbit 164, on March 26, 1994, halfway through Moon mapping at a distance of about 3500 km.

020-The Moon from Clem-Solar Corona.jpg
020-The Moon from Clem-Solar Corona.jpg023 - Solar Corona57 visiteImage of the Moon taken by the Star Tracker camera onboard Clementine. The bright glow over the horizon is the Solar Corona (outer atmosphere) showing from behind the Moon. Craters at left are illuminated by Earthshine, the light reflected off the Earth and onto the Moon. The dark part of the Moon is on the Lunar Far-Side. Do not equate "Dark-Side" with "Far-Side": the Far-Side experiences the same day-night cycle (28 days) as the Near-Side.

It just happens to be night on the Far-Side in this image.
