Washington: American astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy has clicked the most detailed picture of the moon and shared it on social media. The surface of the moon can be seen in a very beautiful way in high quality pictures. They have been working on it for the last two weeks. ‘Using two telescopes and more than 280,000 separate photographs, I took the most detailed image of the Moon ever,’ he said. Its full size is more than one gigapixel, it is difficult to download.
McCarthy also shared the picture and a video on Twitter and on his Instagram page. McCarthy named this picture Giga Moon. According to NASA, the Earth’s Moon is the only place beyond Earth where humans have set foot. The brightest and largest object at night, the Moon, controls the wobble of our home planet on its axis, making Earth a more habitable planet, thereby stabilizing the climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years. The possibility of the formation of the Moon was told after a Mars-sized body collided with the Earth.
