Dear all,
thanks for supporting my enclosed application for a very cool contest by @ESA and @Arianespace
The prize is a trip to #Kourou to witness a launch of an @Arianespace rocket by posting a #SpaceSelfie and having attended one of the #SpaceTalks events.
The most retweeted and liked entries can win.
These @Spaceholix here already traveled around our world to see 3 #SpaceShuttle , 1 #Delta and 1 #Soyuz launch into the sky.
We shared many unforgettable memories with many friends from all around the globe and all walks of life over the past 12 years, since our first launch at #KSC Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex...
Soon I'll be adding a really surreal thing:
Spilling some beans here:
one of my artworks will be EXHIBITED THERE at #KSC in Florida
on 21.12.2018 at the #50thAnniversary of #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebrations UNDER #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis during the opening of the Constellation.Earth tour.
This is a wonderful project founded by astronauts
* Nicole Passonno Stott @Astro_Nicole * Ron Garan @Astro_Ron
* Anousheh Ansari @AnoushehAnsari
* Leland Melvin @Astro_Flow.
„This event will mark the launch of a worldwide movement, motivated by their experience in space, to inspire hope and positive change to ensure our planet is a thriving home for all.“
Such an honor to have my design #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration being chosen together with masterpieces by 15 other inspiring #SpaceArtists from all around the world.
Many of them are also members of our wonderful #IAAA
IAAA - International Association of Astronomical Artists
So these posts by Nicole and their Simon Kregar Jr. - the art director of Constellation Foundation made me smile A LOT 😃

All this - after having seen SpaceShuttle #Atlantis lift-off twice
( #STS115 in 2006 and #STS135 in 2011, where our #SocialMediaFairyTale began) and also #Shuttle #Endeavour #STS124 in 2008 with Ron Garan onboard - is somehow bringing things for these German #SpaceTweeps here to a full circle 🇩🇪 👪
And yes, we‘d really LOVE to visit our #BucketList goal French-Guyana #Kourou 🚀
And if my #SpaceSelfie wins I promise to @esa @esaoperations @ESA_de and @Arianespace I will design a(nother) special badge - especially for this event 🎨

#TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration
Photographed in Frank Borman's hangar at Las Cruces International Airport in New Mexico, USA. I was able to see Frank's memorabilia from his NASA astronaut days. My friend Ted was airport manager at the time in 1998.
"A hundred lunar distances in space are really nothing. You haven’t gone anywhere—not even to the next planet. So here was this orb looking like a Christmas tree ornament, very fragile, not an infinite expanse of granite, and seemingly of a physical insignificance, and yet it was our home." - William Anders, Apollo 8 lunar module pilot, Johnson Space Center Oral History Project, 1997

Happy 50th anniversary La Silla Observatory
from yours @Spaceholix
with our travelbuddies,
the #SpaceMascots
@PinkLilDragon & houseguest @CamillaSpace
Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.
In a few of my entries for your first contest #ESO50Years #GoParanal from 2012 I wrote that I want to inspire my little one and to show him the beauty of our world and our universe and I am happy that -so far- we had many great chances doing so and I am looking forward to the future.
Sometimes I am wondering, how this German gal here with no professional scientific background at all did become a certified #AsteroidHunterRookie and #MeteoriteHunterRookie, live tweeted from @CERN‘s #LHC and -together with my family attended many space / science events by ESA and NASA TEDx and SpaceUp conferences traveling around our marble,...
... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.
#OneSmallStepForHumankindOneGiantLeapForMe
I LOVE it, when things come to full circles ;-)
simonkregar.com/constellationearthrise
I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

Apollo 8: Moon, far side, Target of Opportunity (T/O) 40, Fractured mare dome and other features, Tsiolkovsky
Latitude: 21° South, Longitude: 128° East
Camera Tilt Mode: High Oblique
Direction: South
Sun Angle: 69°
Original Film Magazine was labeled B.
Camera Data: 70mm Hasselblad
Lens: 250mm
Film Type: Kodak SO-368 Color, ASA 64
Other Photographic Coverage: Lunar Orbiter 1 (LO I) S-9. Flight Date: December 21-27,1968

My favorite lunar crater. Interestingly, note also the two dark (lower albedo) features to the upper left, on the floor of Waterman Crater, they look like mini-mares.
Way cool...find Tsiolkovsky Crater and the corresponding (2451) blue outlined field of view of this photograph:

Finally, from NASA SP-201, “ANALYSIS OF APOLLO 8 PHOTOGRAPHY AND VISUAL OBSERVATIONS”:
“The mare-like materials of the far-side crater Tsiolkovsky were the darkest appearing materials we observed. Our flightpath took us about 200 n. mi. north of Tsiolkovsky, and our visibility to the south was limited by window fogging; however, this mare did appear to be very smooth, again with the exception of the ubiquitous small craters. Through the monocular telescope, and then barely with the unaided eye, we were able to discern several large boulders on this surface next to the base of the central peak. To be observable from over 200 n. mi., these boulders must be several hundred meters in diameter. One of the boulders appeared to have a track leading away from it, indicating it had rolled off the central peak. Other than these boulders in Tsiolkovsky, no boulders were observed on mare materials, even during use of the spacecraft sextant for landmark tracking.”

... Organizing small space gatherings and sharing my art work and little mementos of our adventures specially designed for many of those events with all attendees AND speakers became a fond tradition in the past 7 years.
And having seen many astronauts, from Mercury and Apollo who flew to and walked on the moon to today’s inhabitants of the #ISS, astronomers, scientists, and our growing #SpaceFamily wearing my badges and lanyards and having them sign our Thank You posters always makes me smile.
And having become a member of the #IAAA (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ASTRONOMICAL ARTISTS iaaa.org), with my artwork being auctioned off by Apollo astronauts and a painting which will be exhibited under #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis on 21.12.2018 during the #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebration also marking the launch of project #Constellation created by Nicole Passonno Stott, Ron Garan, Anousheh Ansari and Leland Melvin AT Kennedy Space Center in Florida will forever be surreal.
As THIS is the place where I finally fell in love with everything around #Space during watching my 1st of 3 #SpaceShuttle launches of #STS115 back in 2006.
AND from where I sent my very first tweet EVER on July 8th 2011, while watching the final launch of #Shuttle #Atlantis together with @LightspeedLeo on the day he turned 9 months old. What a birthday candle that was.

I am so looking forward to the day when our now 8 year old son will understand, whom he met since being a toddler and to which places we were invited.
So I want to thank all of you around @ESO for inviting the public to #ReachingBeyondTheStars -literally and figuratively and for doing what you do.
You all make a difference.
And knowing that OUR story is only one of many inspired by your work is amazing.

Edited Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter image of Mount Marilyn on the Moon. The image is overlayed with a digital elevation map.
Image source: lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1078
Original caption: Mount Marilyn holds a special place in the history of lunar exploration. This 1400-meter tall peak straddling the boundary between Mare Tranquillitatis and Mare Fecunditatis served as a critical landmark as Apollo 11 astronauts descended to the surface. If the landmark was visible at a specified time, the astronauts knew they were on-track.
Before the Apollo 8 flight the astronauts picked distinctive landmarks along potential landing routes, and Jim Lovell picked Mount Marilyn. Marilyn and Jim, high school sweethearts, and were married shortly after Jim graduated from the Naval Academy in 1952. Today is the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 8, and Marilyn and Jim have been married for more than 65 years!
Lovell first saw Mount Marilyn in person as the Apollo 8 Command Module flew over and he called out the landmark at 72:05:40 Ground Elapsed Time: Lovell: I can see the old second initial point right now, Mount Marilyn.
Mount Marilyn appears on many Apollo-era technical reports and maps, but the name was not officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) until recently. This historic landmark was officially named "Mount Marilyn" on 26 July 2017.
Now, you can fly over Mount Marilyn in a video produced by the LROC team. A model of Mount Marilyn was created in a 3D animation program. The topography was derived from a Digital Terrain Model and the texture, or shading of the surface, is a NAC mosaic.

Dear all,
thanks for supporting my enclosed application for a very cool contest by @ESA and @Arianespace
The prize is a trip to #Kourou to witness a launch of an @Arianespace rocket by posting a #SpaceSelfie and having attended one of the #SpaceTalks events.
The most retweeted and liked entries can win.
These @Spaceholix here already traveled around our world to see 3 #SpaceShuttle , 1 #Delta and 1 #Soyuz launch into the sky.
We shared many unforgettable memories with many friends from all around the globe and all walks of life over the past 12 years, since our first launch at #KSC Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex...
Soon I'll be adding a really surreal thing:
Spilling some beans here:
one of my artworks will be EXHIBITED THERE at #KSC in Florida
on 21.12.2018 at the #50thAnniversary of #Apollo8 #Earthrise celebrations UNDER #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis during the opening of the Constellation.Earth tour.
This is a wonderful project founded by astronauts
* Nicole Passonno Stott @Astro_Nicole * Ron Garan @Astro_Ron
* Anousheh Ansari @AnoushehAnsari
* Leland Melvin @Astro_Flow.
„This event will mark the launch of a worldwide movement, motivated by their experience in space, to inspire hope and positive change to ensure our planet is a thriving home for all.“
Such an honor to have my design #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration being chosen together with masterpieces by 15 other inspiring #SpaceArtists from all around the world.
Many of them are also members of our wonderful #IAAA
IAAA - International Association of Astronomical Artists
So these posts by Nicole and their Simon Kregar Jr. - the art director of Constellation Foundation made me smile A LOT 😃

All this - after having seen SpaceShuttle #Atlantis lift-off twice
( #STS115 in 2006 and #STS135 in 2011, where our #SocialMediaFairyTale began) and also #Shuttle #Endeavour #STS124 in 2008 with Ron Garan onboard - is somehow bringing things for these German #SpaceTweeps here to a full circle 🇩🇪 👪
And yes, we‘d really LOVE to visit our #BucketList goal French-Guyana #Kourou 🚀
And if my #SpaceSelfie wins I promise to @esa @esaoperations @ESA_de and @Arianespace I will design a(nother) special badge - especially for this event 🎨

Thank YOU for being such a vital part of #TheCreationOfSpaceInspiration - not only for our family!
By discovering @ESO on social media back in 2012 during your #ESO50Years contest
YOU -amongst other space and science agencies- daily increased my curiosity and my wish to learn more about things out of my everyday business,
to explore and try things well outside my comfort zone and to #DareMightyThings.
One small step led to another and by nurturing that seed in me, an amazing journey gained speed for the three of us.
Thanks to the #MagicPowerOfSocialMedia,
my family and I explored some the most amazing places, met some the most inspiring people ever since, connected with people from all walks of life and from all around our beautiful #BlueDot sharing our passion for #Space and #Science - turning into an ever growing #SpaceFamily.
Thus YOU helped to enrich our lives with numerous unforgettable and often #ForrestGumpLikeMemories.

Edited Apollo 8 PR image of the rising Earth over the Moon's limb. This image (the picture itself) is now the namesake for two of the craters visible on the Moon in the picture. So far as I know, this is the only photograph that serves as a namesake for craters. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: The Earthrise colour photograph taken by astronaut William Anders. It depicts the moment that our shiny blue Earth came back into view as the spacecraft emerged out of the dark from behind the grey and barren Moon. This is arguably the most famous picture taken by Apollo 8. It became iconic and has been credited with starting the environmental movement. Two of the crates seen in this photo have just been named by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) of the International Astronomical Union.

"Make a photograph that emphasizes the horizon today and post it."
My family Christmas was yesterday, and I hosted, so I didn't have a chance to seek out a horizon. But if I got to pick ANY horizon to photograph, I'd choose this one. A remix of an image from NSSDC photogallery from the Apollo 8 mission. nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery-earthmoon....
