Now, a California man has put a painstakingly amount of effort into creating the world’s clearest image of the moon’s craters.
Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy is the genius behind this masterpiece, which took two weeks to create. So, how did he do it?
Here’s McCarthy describing the process: “This moon might look a little funny to you, and that’s because it is an impossible scene. From two weeks of images of the waxing moon, I took the section of the picture that has the most contrast (right before the lunar terminator where shadows are the longest), aligned and blended them to show the rich texture across the entire surface.
McCarthy calls the photo “All Terminator.”

It has that lumpy moldy green cheese look. Nice picture. Good detail.
