The above is said to be a photo taken of the moon. The methods utilized as of late by amateur astronomers have been to equalize the R G B channels. The general verdict appears that the moon's colors don't quite pop from the earth due to #1 the sky is blue; #2 atmospheric haze or the like. There is a growing number of astronomers who are alleging NASA and others to be doctoring pictures of the moon.
