#PastelSketches of #ReinerGamma, one of several #LunarSwirls, magnetic anomalies that look like bright highland regions but they don't cast shadows. Left is under a lower Sun angle, right fully illuminated. Sketched from my own photos. The #LunarVertex mission will investigate them later this year #PastelDrawing #AstronomySketching #MoonSketch #LunarSketch #MoonDrawing
