Hubble Reveals Potential Titanium Oxide Deposits at Aristarchus and Schroter’s Valley Rille
Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Garvin (NASA/GSFC)Aristarchus Crater in False Color This color composite focuses on the 26-mile-diameter (42-kilometer-diameter) Aristarchus impact crater, and employs ultraviolet- to visible-color-ratio information to accentuate differences that are potentially diagnostic of ilmenite- (i.e, titanium oxide) bearing materials as well as pyroclastic glasses. The symphony of color within the Aristarchus crater…
