| I was looking at planetary systems in M81 when I discovered the moon RS 1227-171-4-973-475 2.1. This moon has some sort of purple goo all around it. Is this scientifically possible?

| It looks like that because of your low LOD making the moon's surface look smoother than it is, combined with the blue light coming off the planet shining on the dark sections of the moon.

| Thank you for telling me that it is just an illusion.
