The following image is a three-filter false-color image produced from Galileo Solid
State Imager (SSI)
data. It was created by Dr. Edwin V. Bell, II (NSSDC/Hughes STX Corp.),
from separate filter images present on the
Galileo Imaging CD-ROMs.
It was produced by combining colorized
versions of the green, red, and infrared (9680 nm) filters of the SSI.
The green filter was colorized as blue, the red filter as green, and the
IR filter as red and the resulting images combined.
The software used to colorize and blend the individual images together
was Color It!(tm).

These images of the Moon are a selection of images taken by the Clementine spacecraft.
The first image is a mosaic of the near side of the moon as taken by the star trackers.
The images were taken on March 15, 1994. In this view, north is up. The bright crater
near the bottom of the image is the Tycho.

The following Clementine images are "sample" images taken by the four imaging experiments
on-board the spacecraft plus an image taken by the star trackers.
