EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a breathtaking artwork of our beloved planet, Earth, as seen from the surface of the Moon. The image beautifully captures Earth's north-south axis running horizontally across the frame, with Africa dominating the major land mass in vibrant shades of yellow and green. Amidst swirling cloud formations, one can discern the snowy expanse of Antarctica at the South Pole. The moon itself orbits our planet at an average distance of 384,400 kilometers, and this stunning artwork is based on images captured during NASA's Apollo 17 mission in 1972. This historic mission marked the last time American astronauts set foot on lunar soil. Gazing upon this mesmerizing composition evokes a profound sense of wonder and awe for both art enthusiasts and science aficionados alike. It serves as a poignant reminder of our place within the vast cosmos and highlights humanity's insatiable curiosity to explore beyond our home planet. This remarkable print by Science Photo Library encapsulates not only the beauty inherent in merging art and science but also reminds us to cherish and protect our fragile blue oasis amidst an infinite universe.
