  1. Geology of the bright sight of the Moon Group members: Tomislav Šklebar Mimoza Naseska Anton Perkov Project leader: Maja Hren

  2. Somethingabout the Moon • The Moon is Earth's only known natural satellite. • The prevailing hypothesis today is that the Earth–Moon system formed as a result of a giant impact. The Moon is a differentiated body: it has a geochemically distinct crust, mantle, and core.

  3. Surface geology Chemical composition of the lunar surface regolith (derived from crustal rocks)

  4. Surface geology Pyroxene  XY(Si,Al)2O6 Plagioclase NaAlSi3O8 / CaAl2Si2O8 Ilmenite (FeTiO3) Olivine (Mg, Fe)2SiO4

  5. Surface geology • The Moon surface is made out of two tipes of rocks • Basalts • Anorthosite

  6. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Taking photos of the visible sight of the Moon trough the filters Meade LX200 GPS Canon 20D Lumicon filters

  7. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Taking photos of the visible sight of the Moon trough the filters Lumicon Oxygen III Lumicon Orange No.21 Parks red No.25 Without filters Lumicon deep-sky Lumicon No.12 deep yellow

  8. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Determing the filter spectra

  9. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Determing the filter spectra Lumicon Oxygen III Parks red No.25 Lumicon No.12 deep yellow Lumicon Orange No.21

  10. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Image processing Alligning and stacking

  11. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Image processing

  12. Our method for determing the mineralogy of the Lunar surface Image processing Picture without filter minus deep sky Picture wthout filter minus yellow filter Picture without filter minus orange filter Picture without filter minus oxygen III Picture without filter minus red filter

  13. Conclusion and comparison Plagioclase detection

  14. Conclusion and comparison Metal rich basalts Ti>7% Fe>15% Metal poorbasalts Ti<2% Fe<10% Impactejecta Our image NASA’s image
