Moon Colours & Palettes

Moons with images or global maps, from Earth’s Moon to the icy moons of Saturn and Uranus. Each keeps its own colours.

  • Enceladus

    Moon · Saturn

    Enceladus is the most reflective body in the Solar System, kept bright white by ice from its own geysers.

Colours belong to the images and models they were sampled from, not permanently to an object. Positions in the colour atlas are colours, not places in space.
