Unlike most of the images I post, this is a blend of CGI with real images. All credit for the height data goes to nasa. I did this to illustrate the extreme differences between the Maria and the highlands. Highlands are heavily cratered, while Maria is the ancient lava beds, where the landscape was covered by massive sheets of molten rock, where it hardened as these darker features known as the lunar “seas”.
I look forward to seeing this reposted in r/interestingasfuck with an incorrect title, without proper credit, and lacking the relevant comment to explain what is being shown for all eternity.
