Bartosz Wojczyński: Full Moon Poster

The Moon You've Never Seen Before

What the naked eye perceives as a monochrome sphere becomes a tapestry of color when science meets artistry. This extraordinary full Moon image reveals the hidden mineralogical story of our closest celestial neighbor—a story written in subtle shades of orange and blue that speak to billions of years of volcanic history.

Award-winning astrophotographer Bartosz Wojczyński captured this remarkable view on August 30, 2015, from Piekary Śląskie, Poland, using a Celestron C9.25 telescope with a 2,350mm focal length—a planetary imaging powerhouse favored by serious astrophotographers worldwide.

What makes this image scientifically significant and visually stunning is the advanced color-saturation technique that reveals compositional differences invisible to the unaided eye. 

Technical Excellence Meets Artistic Vision

Creating this masterpiece required extraordinary technical precision. Wojczyński captured 2,000 frames per color filter across 12 separate telescope positions, then stacked only the sharpest 20% to overcome atmospheric turbulence[provided]. The result: a 12-panel mosaic revealing intricate crater details, ray systems, and compositional variations with scientific accuracy and breathtaking clarity.

This isn't just a photograph—it's a NASA APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) award-winner and Astrobin Image of the Day honoree, created by a photographer with over a decade of astrophotography expertise and international recognition.
