Infrared image of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse, captured by the MSX satellite's SPIRIT III telescope. Bright spots indicate warmer areas, like the Tycho crater (bottom left), while darker regions represent cooler areas, such as the Mare Crisium (upper right). This image shows the lunar surface in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
