EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "The Moon from space" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the lunar surface, meticulously annotated based on data collected by unmanned US space probes. The sepia-toned print showcases various prominent features of the moon, inviting us to explore its geological wonders. At the far left, we are drawn to the Ptolemaeus crater, an impressive lunar landmark that immediately captures our attention. Moving towards the top center of the image, we encounter the dark Mare Tranquillitatis or Sea of Tranquility - a place forever etched in history as it witnessed humanity's first manned lunar landing. Intriguingly positioned between Mare Tranquillitatis and Mare Nectaris (Sea of Nectar) lies Theophilus impact crater. Its presence serves as a striking visual divider between these two distinct lunar seas. Notably marked within this artwork are two significant Apollo landing sites - Apollo 11 and Apollo 16 - symbolizing mankind's remarkable achievements in space exploration. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artistry seamlessly blends scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal, allowing us to appreciate both its illustrative beauty and informative value. This monochromatic masterpiece transports us beyond Earth's boundaries and into the vastness of our solar system. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we cannot help but marvel at humanity's relentless curiosity and determination to unravel the mysteries that lie beyond our home planet. It is through such artistic representations that we gain a deeper understanding of celestial bodies like our beloved moon while igniting a sense of wonder for what lies ahead in our cosmic journey.
