object: THE MOON

 I came across this pretty amazing image of the moon: 

The galileo probe, on it's way to jupiter took this false colour image of the moon:
The false colors emphasize the maria and craters and other features. The credit reference gives color meanings in terms of composition. North is at the top. The Crater Tycho is near the south. It is not the biggest crater on the Moon, but it is very recognizable because of the rays that radiate from it.
