Recent exhibitions of the Earth and Moon surfaces at Brisbane's Museum of the Moon inspired me create a version of the famous 1968 Earthrise image taken on the 24/12 of that year. That evening, the astronauts-Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders-held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and moon as seen from their spacecraft.

The Floating Earth installation by artist Luke Jerram at Media City, Salford Quays as part of the Light Waves Festival. Originally commissioned by Quays Culture with support from Salford City Council and Wigan Council it has previously been at Pennington Flash, Wigan. No current plans for it to be shown elsewhere, at least none I can find and none on his website but like his previous work 'Gaia' I suspect it will go on an extensive tour next year.

 

It measures 10 metres in diameter and was created from 1200dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. Quite a sight when it first comes in to view and evokes some challenging emotions concerning climate change and the fragility of our home and why the heck can’t we all get along and look out for each other. I immediately thought of the 'earthrise' image taken by Bill Anders aboard Apollo 8.

 

If you want to see it you'll have to get a wriggle on, it's only on until Sunday 12th Dec. If you do visit, try to get there as day becomes night and the lights of Media City come on.

Thanks to NASA for the image of earth. The moon shot is one that I took from right here on the planet.

 

HSS and Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

 

"Blue," for Earth Day, Macro Mondays.

 

I had in mind the image of the "Blue Marble" taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972, but even more so the image by Bill Anders taken aboard Apollo 8 entitled "Earthrise." Finally, the alignment of the earth and sun was suggested by the main title sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

 

The marble is 0.5 inches in diameter and the image is 1.75 inches in greatest dimension.

  

I took 2 separate pictures-one of Spike and one of Sparkle, and put them together to make this picture.i do not use Photoshop; this was done entirely on MS paint / cut-paste & pic monkey.

Living in the shadow of Pompadour Bluff can sometimes provide nice sunsets (earthrises as I call them - I'm fairly OCD)

I remember my short visit Bisti fondly, a place that stimulates imagination like few others! I hope to be back there some day, when the light is not as harsh and I am not in a rush, when time's shadow crawls across the desert like a somnabulant snake and I get to see the future before it becomes the past.

In December of 1968, the crew of Apollo 8, Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders were the first humans to reach the moon. Tho they didn't land, they orbited 8 times.

On coming round from the darkside of the moon, they saw sunrise on the earth. The first humans to see it with their own eyes from the black recess of space.

Anders took this by now iconic photo, and on release of it, it was our first time seeing it too.

Since then others have followed, both astronauts and private citizens. Many of them speak of having been profoundly moved, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and wishing we could all get along, wishing we would take better care of it.

Anders summed it up best.....

"We came to discover the moon. What we discovered was the earth"

 

Happy Earth Day to our planet, our home, our mother.

One of the most influential photos from space ever was Earthrise, taken from lunar orbit by William Anders on Apollo 8, the first human-piloted spacecraft to orbit the moon. The one we know was taken on Christmas Eve, 1968, with a Hasselblad 500 EL. What if they had an early prototype of the SX-70 with them?

 

Petapixel published an article about Earthrise yesterday. They didn't mention the Polaroid version. petapixel.com/2023/04/25/the-story-behind-earthrise-one-o...

For all the people on Earth the crew of Apollo 8 has a message we would like to send you:

 

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."

 

"And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."

 

"And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."

 

And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you - all of you on the Good Earth.

Digital painting based on the famous photo “Earthrise” by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, taken in December 1968, when humans traveled to the moon for the first time.

Rebirth

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

When I first received the offer of Interplanetary travel, I was quite excited. However, as I thought about this trip, a tremendous fear began to grip my body. This fear had grown to such an extent that it almost took over my entire body. It was a feeling of dread of the unknown. When I thought of myself alone in the unknown, the feeling of fear began to give way to worry. During this space travel, I started to think about all the bad scenarios that could happen to me. It was as if my thoughts were trying to dissuade me from this interplanetary journey. But all these negative thoughts encouraged me even more to go on this trip. The fear of the unknown made me even more curious about this trip. The fear and anxiety that surrounded my body could not stop me. Perhaps, at that time, my desire to escape from reality encouraged me to take this trip. So that I could get away from the real pain I was going through. All my pain would remain on planet Earth. I would be reborn in the dark void of space. All the facts that would affect my life would remain in the Earth's atmosphere. Thus, I would be able to continue living without the facts that could affect my life and perhaps end my life. That's how it happened. After leaving the atmosphere of planet Earth, a deep numbness filled my entire body. In time, I started to come to life again in that endless darkness and unmatched silence. As I progressed through deep space, my thoughts began to disappear.. I found myself in a deep nothingness. This nothingness kept me focused on my goal. Now I had only one purpose. Finding life!

Dark Time of The Planet

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

I was finishing another day on a new planet. At the end of the day, I start to enjoy the moment by climbing to the top of the mountain I am on to watch the sunset. The scenery is so perfect that I see that the camera I set up to record the sunset on video only takes a single frame photo instead of a video when the sunset is over. I was only able to take a single frame photo instead of a video with excitement and surprise in the face of that extraordinary sunset view. Although the photo frame I took was enough to show how unusual and unique the sunset was. However, I needed that video recording for some scientific analysis and detailed observations. I couldn't turn back time. I could sometimes make mistakes in my interplanetary travel. I said hello to the dark time of the planet, with billions of starscapes starting to become visible as the sun went down completely. The stars were so many and bright that it was impossible not to be enchanted by this unique landscape. It was as if the stars were turning the dark sky into a riot of colors and light. If I stretched my hand to the sky, it was as if they were close enough to touch the stars. Stardust surrounded them. They were in colorful pastel shades. I'm taking a few more photos. Then I lay back where I am and begin to watch the stars and the sight of stardust scattering from the dead stars. It never occurs to me to sleep in front of this unique star landscape. I'm almost losing myself. When I was on planet Earth, I could never see so many stars in the night sky. Interplanetary travel has blessed me with these unique cosmic landscapes. Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep at night. My soul refused to sleep in the face of these enormous cosmic landscapes. Maybe I was deliberately refusing to sleep. In my dreams, I was reliving the memories of living in the world over and over again. I was seeing the streets I lived in in my dreams. I dreamed of the woman I fell in love with. And this was giving me emotional pain when I woke up. I am aware that my emotional conflicts are increasing. I couldn't decide. Should I go back to earth? Or should I continue this deep space journey that I've embarked on? The purpose of my space travel was to find habitable planets. In fact, I had found enough planets suitable for living. But I had a new mission for myself. Finding the lost Plutonian civilization. For some reason I was obsessed with this lost civilization. I really wanted to find them. Only when I found them would I find out what had happened to the Plutonian civilization and why they had left their planet. In this way, I would also be able to learn why the planets I had visited, which were quite suitable for life but had no life on them, were so quiet. But at the same time, my human feelings began to revive. This situation was very challenging for me. I had a desire to return to the world. Could I go back to the world and start all over again? I could not find an answer to these questions in my head. Both were decisions that required a lot of courage. And I was getting more and more discouraged. This made it difficult for me to decide. What in the world was waiting for me? It scared me that I would start everything from scratch. Would I be able to adapt to life on Earth again? Would I be able to communicate with people? Will I be able to fall in love again? Would I be able to start a life again?

Questions, questions, questions...

I hope to be able to find answers to these questions as I continue to move towards my target new planet in dark deep space.

Alone on the Planet

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

I woke up to a new day on this planet that I first visited. On this new day, a new and fascinating sight greeted me. I remember that morning. There was a tremendous silence. The planet was so quiet I could hear my heartbeat. I was beginning to think that I must be the only living creature on this planet. I would see that in time. There was no sign of life on this planet, which had very favorable conditions for life. Apart from plant species, I was the only living species. My goal in this trip was to reach civilizations living on different planets. However, this aim had me quite worried. My journey into the unknown had turned into anxiety at first. Over time, this worry would turn into a feeling of wonder and longing. I was just at the very beginning of my interplanetary journey. And, on this first planet I landed on, it was perfectly normal for me to experience the anxiety of the unknown. All that anxiety was already gone in the face of the celestial landscapes I encountered. Anxiety was replaced by a deep sense of peace.

Lost Space Traveler

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

That day, I was enjoying this unique view alone, far from my home. Would a human colony settle in the future on the planet that is suitable for this life that I discovered and see these unique landscapes that I saw and fascinated? Or would I be the only person to see these magnificent sights? Even today, I am amazed at not being able to encounter a civilization on that planet that I discovered and which is very suitable for life. It scares me more and more not to encounter any civilizations on all the habitable planets I have discovered and visited. The civilizations that once lived on these planets left everything behind and left the planet they lived on. What was it that bothered them enough to leave their planet? Would it one day make me a lost space traveler too? What could I do alone in the face of this power that huge civilizations are helpless? In the face of these questions, my fear turned into curiosity. My curiosity encouraged me in the face of this space adventure. I was traveling through deep space to find that mysterious terrifying power and lost civilizations. What awaited me at the end of this space travel? Would I be a lost space traveler? Or would I have perished?

Back of Time

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

Sometimes we lag behind in life. Now we have a concept that is difficult to catch up with. This concept is time. The concept we call time never stops. It always goes on. When we can't keep up with the times, everything starts to stay ahead. We, on the other hand, lag behind time and life. Real time begins to move forward without us. The phenomenon we call life continues as if we do not exist. We begin to question whether we exist. We keep asking ourselves questions that have no answers. And we will never have answers to all these questions. We missed the time. And, the loneliness of those behind the times begins to take over the whole body.

This is the other case I've come to realize in this long time spent in space. I am far behind the times and the life I lived. While time and life were progressing with all their fluency, I was getting more lonely and more withdrawn in this void where there was no time. Now I was faced with an insurmountable situation. I felt as if I had gone through annihilation. It's like everything has disappeared and I'm the only one left. The reality was just the opposite. I was the only one who experienced that disaster and destruction. I wasn't there. I was gone.

The photo series "My Interplanetary Memories", which includes my memories from this interplanetary space travel, was a project that made me question my life. Watching the progress of life in front of my eyes and not being in that life began to hurt me deeply. Sometimes I was in unbearable pain because of it. Still, that didn't stop me from dreaming. Everything was fine in my dream world. In my dream world, there was no concept of time. And everything was going as it should. Dreaming relieved my pain. It helped me continue my journey. I needed my dreams. That's why I started to cling to my dreams even tighter. But this situation caused me to experience greater pain when I returned to real life. Maybe I was doing it wrong. I had to stop daydreaming and let the pain of reality take over me and my soul. So I could live in my dream world forever.

Lost Time

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

The time we spend in life is not long enough to make us who we are. The anxiety we feel about the shortness of life causes us to feel fear and worry about the end that awaits us. This fear stems from the feeling of not living life well enough. However, when we live our lives the way we want, the period called life has no meaning. The concept of time is starting to become meaningless. The feeling of anxiety and worry leaves its place to the feeling of happiness.

There is no such thing as the concept of time in this dark and endless vacuum of space. The concept we call time comes into play again on the planets I've visited. Of course, this is much different and complicated than the perception of time on Earth. During my time on the planets, I thought about the different fluidity of time. How should I calculate the time from now on? Sometimes while living a faster time, sometimes I found myself in a time concept that almost never progressed. How did these different concepts of time affect my life? Was it because I lost my sense of anxiety and fear, that I had erased the perception of time from my mind? Time triggered feelings of fear and anxiety. A timeless universe would remove all this fear and anxiety. The lack of time also eliminated the fear of losing it. The greatest fear that the concept of time made people experience was the worry of losing and being lost. Fear of losing a loved one. Fear of losing life. The fear we feel when we can't keep up with the speed of time, not living long enough.

During my time in outer space and on planets where there is no life form, the only thing I felt about myself was being alone. When I thought about my life on Earth, I realized that all my experiences continue to be lived as memories within the concept we call time. What follows is a great loneliness. Maybe it was because I was too lonely in my desire to find Plutonians so much. When I found them, I would also be able to regain my lost feelings. My desire to find the lost Plutonian civilization got in the way of the Interplanetary Travel project. When I found the lost civilization, I would be able to come back to life. I would be able to rekindle my life and my emotions. Maybe I just want to come back to life. I need a real life form in this.

I don't know what will happen when I go back to real time. I'm stuck in the universe I'm in right now. My thoughts slow me down. Sometimes I play dream or reality game. This is a game I can play by myself. When I say dream, my existing emotional pain increases. When I chose the truth, I had new emotional pains. In the face of these increasing emotional pains, I found myself more focused on this interplanetary journey I had taken. I think this situation has turned into a vicious circle for me. While I did not lose life in my dream world, in the real world I was losing everything one by one. Maybe all I need to do is stop thinking.

Earth Rising over the Aşot

My Interplanetary Memories

Interplanetary Travel

 

Chasing after a lost civilization. Maybe it was the wrong decision. Perhaps I would never find the lost Plutonian civilization. On every planet they left, they certainly didn't leave any message behind. It was as if they didn't want to be found. Something must have caused them to leave the planet they lived on. Something they fear. And, there must be a fear that haunts them on every planet they go to. On every planet they went to, something had to find them and push them to leave the planet again. What could have caused a civilization to constantly flee? Was something terrifying enough to cause a civilization to abandon their planet, was it dangerous for me too? Was I supposed to be afraid? On the planets I visited to find the lost Plutonian civilization, when would I encounter what terrified them? What could I do alone in the face of this fear in which a civilization is helpless? I would be able to get the answers to all these questions when I found the lost civilization or that thing they feared.

My Interplanetary Memories

Planet Dokeia

Interplanetary Travel

 

Hello everyone again from outer space.

I am pleased to present to you a project that came to my mind while traveling in outer space. In this new photo series, I'm going to share with you some photos from my past interplanetary travels that I haven't published. Many of these will be photos you will see for the first time. You will see some photos in their raw form for the first time. This new photo series will take me and you to the past. Maybe we can even go back to when I took my first interplanetary voyage. I hope this new project, which I named "My Interplanetary Memories", has excited you as much as it did me. I don't know yet how many photos I will post in this new photo series. I plan to share as many photos as I can post until we reach the new planet. From the first day of my interplanetary travel, I have accumulated many memories. I was always alone in these memories. I became aware of you as I shared photos from my travels. You started to follow me and share my memories. With this new project, we will actually be returning to our own memories, not to my own memories. You will find yourself there too. I hope this new series will make you as happy as it makes me happy.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) recently captured a unique view of Earth from the spacecraft's vantage point in orbit around the moon.

 

"The image is simply stunning," said Noah Petro, Deputy Project Scientist for LRO at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "The image of the Earth evokes the famous 'Blue Marble' image taken by Astronaut Harrison Schmitt during Apollo 17, 43 years ago, which also showed Africa prominently in the picture."

 

In this composite image we see Earth appear to rise over the lunar horizon from the viewpoint of the spacecraft, with the center of the Earth just off the coast of Liberia (at 4.04 degrees North, 12.44 degrees West). The large tan area in the upper right is the Sahara Desert, and just beyond is Saudi Arabia. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left. On the moon, we get a glimpse of the crater Compton, which is located just beyond the eastern limb of the moon, on the lunar farside.

 

LRO was launched on June 18, 2009, and has collected a treasure trove of data with its seven powerful instruments, making an invaluable contribution to our knowledge about the moon. LRO experiences 12 earthrises every day; however the spacecraft is almost always busy imaging the lunar surface so only rarely does an opportunity arise such that its camera instrument can capture a view of Earth. Occasionally LRO points off into space to acquire observations of the extremely thin lunar atmosphere and perform instrument calibration measurements. During these movements sometimes Earth (and other planets) pass through the camera's field of view and dramatic images such as the one shown here are acquired.

 

This image was composed from a series of images taken Oct. 12, when LRO was about 83 miles (134 kilometers) above the moon's farside crater Compton. Capturing an image of the Earth and moon with LRO's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) instrument is a complicated task. First the spacecraft must be rolled to the side (in this case 67 degrees), then the spacecraft slews with the direction of travel to maximize the width of the lunar horizon in LROC's Narrow Angle Camera image. All this takes place while LRO is traveling faster than 3,580 miles per hour (over 1,600 meters per second) relative to the lunar surface below the spacecraft!

 

The high-resolution Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) on LRO takes black-and-white images, while the lower resolution Wide Angle Camera (WAC) takes color images, so you might wonder how we got a high-resolution picture of the Earth in color. Since the spacecraft, Earth, and moon are all in motion, we had to do some special processing to create an image that represents the view of the Earth and moon at one particular time. The final Earth image contains both WAC and NAC information. WAC provides the color, and the NAC provides high-resolution detail.

 

"From the Earth, the daily moonrise and moonset are always inspiring moments," said Mark Robinson of Arizona State University in Tempe, principal investigator for LROC. "However, lunar astronauts will see something very different: viewed from the lunar surface, the Earth never rises or sets. Since the moon is tidally locked, Earth is always in the same spot above the horizon, varying only a small amount with the slight wobble of the moon. The Earth may not move across the 'sky', but the view is not static. Future astronauts will see the continents rotate in and out of view and the ever-changing pattern of clouds will always catch one's eye, at least on the nearside. The Earth is never visible from the farside; imagine a sky with no Earth or moon - what will farside explorers think with no Earth overhead?"

 

NASA's first Earthrise image was taken with the Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft in 1966. Perhaps NASA's most iconic Earthrise photo was taken by the crew of the Apollo 8 mission as the spacecraft entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve Dec. 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts -- Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders -- held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and moon as seen from their spacecraft. Said Lovell, "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth."
