Antique Framed Print : Shuttle photograph of the moon over the earth
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Shuttle photograph of the moon over the earth
Shuttle photograph of the moon setting over the earths limb. The moons image is distorted due to refraction through the Earths atmosphere. A portion of the nearside of the moon is visible showing the vast area of the moons Western Seas (Mare Occidental) and the large impact crater Copernicus. Scattering of sunlight from the Earths upper atmosphere produces the halo of blue light. The semi-vortex in the clouds near the centre is probably a storm system in the early stages of formation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from space, showcasing the moon gracefully setting over the Earth's limb. The image is not only visually stunning but also scientifically intriguing, as the moon's appearance is distorted by the refraction of light through our planet's atmosphere. In this particular shot, we are treated to a glimpse of the nearside of the moon, revealing its vast Western Seas (Mare Occidental) and an impressive impact crater known as Copernicus. These lunar features serve as a reminder of both the moon's serene beauty and its tumultuous history. Adding to the ethereal ambiance of this photograph is a halo of blue light encircling our planet. This phenomenon occurs due to sunlight scattering in Earth's upper atmosphere, creating an enchanting visual effect that complements the celestial dance unfolding before us. Notably, amidst these cosmic wonders lies a semi-vortex in the clouds near the center of attention. Experts believe that this swirling formation represents an early-stage storm system taking shape—an awe-inspiring reminder that even in space, nature continues to manifest its power and dynamism. This exceptional shuttle photograph serves as a testament to humanity's exploration and understanding of our universe. Its intricate details offer invaluable insights into lunar geology, atmospheric science, astronomy, planetary studies, cosmology—the list goes on. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece of artistry merged seamlessly with scientific discovery.
