APOD 2.3

This is a topographical picture of the moon that shows the elevation differences on the moon. The different colors correspond to different ranges of heights. They range from white to purple which are heights from highest to lowest respectively. The large purple area near the bottom is a huge impact basin which is one of the largest in the solar system. It is 2500 km across and 12 km deep.
