We worked for years to get enough image data to get this picture to you. The moon has distinct colors to it that we can’t see from Earth, and even robotic explorers have trouble seeing. The astronauts of Artemis II made observations of the colors of the surface and they noted these colors as well. in particular, the light grey we see from Earth is a brown color to the human eye when you’re close enough.
