The Chemical Elements of Our Moon

After 9 long months I've finally finished this painting of our Moon's chemical elements. I feel like I just won a battle!
Each color represents one element that makes up the chemical structure of our Moon. The back ground is made up of straight vertical lines that represent the neutrons of these elements atoms, the number of rays ascending up from each point are the protons, and the rays descending from each point represent the electrons. The positioning of the points is based on the combination of each elements geometric crystal structure.
