🌕 Super Moon | 4 Jan 2026 – Quetta
Observed and imaged the Super Moon during its close approach to Earth, revealing beautiful surface details.
✨ Why bright & dark regions?
• Bright areas (Highlands): Older, rough terrain with highly reflective rocks; fresh craters like Tycho spread bright rays.
• Dark areas (Maria): Smooth plains made of ancient basaltic lava, absorbing more light and appearing darker.
🔠These contrasts record the Moon’s history of impacts and volcanism.
