Yes, but not a dishonest one. It looks like a false-color composite image, probably from more than one photo of the moon.
Looks pretty, though.

It is a false color but otherwise genuine foto. Check the above site for the true color image and an explanation.
Wow... the true-color image looks falser than the false-color ones! :wink:Originally Posted by beskeptical
No no no, this is a fake image of Io!
I don't know, the shadows line up... :wink:
