I stumbled upon this blog article on the web. It covers my interests in both space exploration and photography and I thought I would share here.
In summary: The Chinese Space Agency's Chang'e 4 lander sent back images of the far side of the moon in which the lunar soil appears red. The mission priority is exploration, rather than the production of accurately coloured images. So, unlike previous US missions, there was no colour calibration target used. The blogger, David Rothery, has processed the colour channels of the raw images.
