EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rare and breathtaking sight of a lunar halo and luminescent cross observed during the historic long-distance balloon flight from Paris to Arcachon in March, 1875. The image is believed to have been taken between 1875 and 1880. The flight was conducted by the renowned French aeronauts, Pierre and Paul Tissandier, who embarked on this daring journey to explore the uncharted territories of the skies. The lunar halo, also known as a 22-degree halo, is a ring of light that surrounds the moon and is caused by ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere refracting moonlight. The luminescent cross, or Parhelia, is a pair of bright spots on either side of the moon, caused by the refraction of sunlight through the same ice crystals. This photograph is a testament to the Tissandier brothers' pioneering spirit and their unwavering commitment to scientific discovery. The flight covered a distance of approximately 500 kilometers and took over 12 hours to complete, making it an impressive feat for the time. The image serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world and the human curiosity that drives us to explore it. The photograph is part of a private collection and is a rare and valuable document of the early days of aeronautics. It offers a unique perspective on the past and provides a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration during the late 19th century.
