Image Details:

This image of the waning gibbous Moon was captured just after moonrise. The terminator passes through Mare Serenitatis in the north and the lunar highlands in the south. The subtle colors on the Moon are largely due to variations in iron and titanium content. For example, the red color is the result of relatively high iron oxide content in some regions of lunar maria while increased titanium oxide content results in a blue hue.
