EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in space exploration history. Dated 27 October 1959, the drawing depicts the groundbreaking achievement of Lunik III as it captured an image of the mysterious far side of the moon. The intricate illustration showcases the precise positioning of Lunik III at the exact moment when its instruments were triggered to photograph this uncharted lunar territory. The arrows thoughtfully added to the drawing indicate the direction of sunlight rays, emphasizing how crucial lighting conditions were for capturing this historic image. This visual representation not only highlights scientific precision but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination. Archived by Agence France-Presse (AFP), this vertical print offers a glimpse into mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet. It symbolizes humanity's quest for understanding and unravelling mysteries that lie beyond Earth's boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far we have come in exploring outer space since that pivotal moment over six decades ago. It stands as a tribute to all those who played a part in pushing boundaries and expanding our horizons through astronautics and satellite technology
