'World's clearest Moon picture' has been revealed by astrophotographer

who spent two weeks capturing it.

THE 'world's clearest picture of the Moon's craters' has been revealed.

The stunning image is courtesy of a Californian astrophotographer who combined snaps of 'lunar phases' to create it.

Andrew McCarthy stacked thousands of Moon photos together to create the masterpiece.

He took two weeks worth of images of the waxing Moon because this is a time when the amount of visible illuminated surfaces increase.

This increased light and good positioning of the 'lunar terminator' – the line between light and dark sides of the Moon – has made the craters look more pronounced.

It's also said to make them look elongated.'>>>

I, as a pro photog of over 30 years, bet someone could do the same with one photo and photoshop.

7. Really,... nice photos,....big dents in the moon,... large meteors......

..... must have slammed into the moon when we weren't looking or busy doing something else.

(Or millions of years ago,... more likely..Don't knock the moon off its axis.... )
