Ilbetea koloretan: Ilargiaren kolore ezberdinak burdin eta titaniozko eduki nahasketaren bidez ematen dira. Ilargi-itsasoek, Ilargian dauden lautada edo ordoki basaltikoek islapena baxuagoa dute bertan dagoen burdin oxidoaren (FeO) kopuru handi samarragatik. Ordoki basaltiko batzuk berriz, burdin oxidoaz gain (FeO), titanio oxido (TiO2) kopuru handiagoa dute islapena are txikiagoa bihurtuz eta Titanio Oxidoak ordokien kolorea gorri-morroitik urdinera aldaratuz.

Colorful Moon: Colors on the Moon are given by variations in mixing iron and titanium content. The mare regions have low reflectance because they contain relatively high amounts of iron oxide (FeO). Some mare basalts contain unusually high amounts of titanium oxide (TiO2) in addition to iron oxide, making lower reflectance and the TiO2 shifts the color of the mare from brown to blue.
