Where is the blue dot?

[Duncan Hale-Sutton]

Like a version of spot the ball, I have been looking at the picture of the moon on page 277 of the new journal wondering where the blue dot is (“the actual landing site [for the Indian Chandrayaan-3 mission], somewhere between Manzinus C and Simpelius N (indicated in blue)”). I can see the red clearly but I am sticking a pin in for where I think the blue is 🙂

The blue dot is 26 mm to the right of the red dot and about 2mm above. A magnifying glass may help.

Thanks Alex and David. I can see now it is obvious in the pdf version of the journal but it wasn’t very obvious in the printed version. Looking in better light I can now see it but it eluded me this morning. It seemed a bit like a “where’s Wally”. Tonally, it blended into the background or perhaps it is just me.

No I could not spot it either but my wife had no problem seeing it and could not understand what the fuss was about ! As far as I am aware I don’t have defective colour vision but it needed a strong light for me to see it easily.

Funnily enough, I had exactly the same experience – my wife saw it immediately – though I do have some colour recognition problems with my eyes.
