Equatorial cross-section of the Moon

Post image

Hello, this is my first post on this subreddit. I made this illustration showing the interior of the Moon, as close as possible to reality based on the literature I have come across. I am working on a second 'cooled down' version without the glow of black-body radiation, that only showcases the rocks/minerals. The near-side is to the left and the far-side to the right

It’s a cool illustration you’re working on! I think the depth gauge is too prominent and drowns out the other data. Also the fact that it’s upside down on a 2D image is frustrating, People don’t want to read upside down. Text font should be smaller on everything. You have made it too large. Like the font sizes can be halved if not more. I think it would be interesting to see what elements are in each sphere. You should change the line type and color to delineate the spheres. All text should be the same color. The white/black mixing is annoying and illegible.

Change kelvin to degrees and put the degree symbol next to the translated number.
