Lugares de la Luna: Reiner Gamma

The video explores lunar swirls, focusing on the famous whirlpool Reinhard Gama, a favorite among amateur astronomers. It discusses data from Hurricane Norbert, revealing that lunar eddies result from local magnetic fields in the lunar crust. These fields act as templates, blocking solar radiation and causing varied cooling rates on the lunar surface, leading to unique patterns and colorations.
