....you're being sarcastic right?

Edit fortunately I follow this person on insta so I can see her awesome posts, even her explanation says:

"A northern lunar portion shows minerals reflecting different colors which including Iron, Oxygen, Silicon, and titanium."

We're not talking star creation or planet creation....

Plenty of asteroids are loaded full of metals and non metals, that's why they burn in different colors when they hit our atmosphere. For example, meteors made from primarily calcium will give off a purple or violet color, while those made out of magnesium will appear to have a green or teal color.

That's why some spots on the moon will appear different colors and in different shades due to age and composition of what hit it.

I'm confused. You say it isn't about minerals, but show me a mineral map. It's just oversaturation of an exposure I believe so its the reflection of the elements since the moon doesn't have much of an atmosphere to distort or block it, and it's pretty dang close, relatively speaking.

I think they're certain filters to see elements in more color. If that's true, I think that's titanium from an asteroid smacking the moon! The more red areas could be like iron or copper. Different asteroids, meteors etc have different compositions of what makes them, them. If a heavily saturated asteroid with titanium hits the moon it'll disperse it's materials farther the bigger and faster it's going when it hits
