EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print, titled "Far Side of the Moon at Apolune, 1967" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by NASA during the 1960s, this photograph showcases the lunar orbiter's view of the unexplored far side of the moon. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination is ignited with thoughts of space exploration and scientific discovery. The stark contrast between light and shadow on the lunar surface adds an air of mystery to this otherworldly scene. It reminds us that there is still so much about our solar system waiting to be unveiled. Preserved as part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's heritage art collection, this print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity. It symbolizes America's pioneering spirit during a time when space travel was at its zenith. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) played a pivotal role in capturing this breathtaking snapshot from outer space. Through their lens, they transported us millions of miles away from Earth, allowing us to witness firsthand what lies beyond our planet's boundaries. This photograph not only represents a remarkable achievement in science but also serves as a reminder that humanity has always been driven by an insatiable desire for knowledge and exploration. As we admire this piece at The Met or any other location where it is displayed, let it inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of what we know about our universe.
