An astronaut takes a last look at Earth before entering orbit around the moon
A soon-to-be lunar explorer takes a last look at Earth before entering orbit around the moon. At this point in the journey, the moon nearly fills the field of view at a distance of only 3, 000 miles. Closing at a speed of 25, 000 mph, the explorer will need to return to the airlock soon if she is to be safely inside before the thrusters file, slowing the tug/lunar lander combination down to an orbital velocity

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Walter Myers, we witness a moment of profound significance in the realm of space exploration. An intrepid astronaut, on the brink of embarking on a lunar expedition, gazes out at Earth one last time before venturing into orbit around the moon. The image captures the sheer magnitude and proximity of our celestial neighbor as it dominates the field of view from a mere 3,000 miles away. As our courageous explorer hurtles through space at an astonishing speed of 25,000 mph, she must make haste to return to the safety of her spacecraft's airlock. The imminent firing of thrusters will decelerate the tug/lunar lander combination to achieve orbital velocity around the moon. Time is precious; every second counts. This artwork not only showcases breathtaking artistry but also encapsulates humanity's insatiable curiosity and unyielding spirit for discovery. It symbolizes our relentless pursuit to unravel mysteries beyond our planet and venture into uncharted territories. With its vibrant colors and digitally generated imagery, this rendition transports us into a futuristic world where science fiction becomes reality. It serves as a reminder that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to pushing boundaries and exploring what lies beyond our reach. Walter Myers' masterpiece invites us to ponder upon mankind's remarkable achievements in space travel while igniting within us an unwavering sense of wonderment for what lies ahead in our ongoing mission to unlock the secrets held within our vast universe.
