Definitely a *BLUE MOON* was created by ELnEMz_Rosebud

This is my first post here so hope it turns out the way it's supposed to.

Was going over moon pics from the Chinese rover and one really stuck out. I'd like to know if anyone else noticed the bright blues on some of the rocks, and if anyone has any idea what they're from (gemmy material? longshot, but paint??).

The pic was larger than one I'd want to save to attach here, but the link is below. Let me know what ya'll think?

Geez... just add the http:// blahblahblah to that link. Seems I have a bit to learn if I'm going to be posting to this forum.

Welcome!

I think the noisy bright blue is part of the blue filter pattern (and occasionally green and red filters also) in the Bayer CFA covering CMOS sensor.

I agree with Todd. It looks to me to be some kind of processing artifact.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
