Earth from lunar orbit, artwork
Earth from lunar orbit, artwork. This view is similar to the ones seen by the Apollo astronauts as they orbited the Moon. The Moon-Earth distance is some 384, 000 kilometres, and the Earths diameter is 12, 742 kilometres. Unlike the Earth, the Moon is an airless, barren world of rock, with extremes of day and night temperatures, harsh sunlight and deep shadows. Here, the Earth globe is centred on Asia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking artwork captures a mesmerizing view of Earth from lunar orbit, reminiscent of the scenes witnessed by the Apollo astronauts during their historic missions to the Moon. From a distance of approximately 384,000 kilometers, our planet appears as a vibrant sphere suspended in space. The contrasting beauty between Earth and its airless lunar neighbor is strikingly evident in this illustration. Unlike our dynamic and life-sustaining home, the Moon stands as an inhospitable world devoid of atmosphere and teeming with desolate rocks. Its surface experiences extreme temperature variations, alternating between scorching sunlight and chilling darkness. Deep shadows cast by the harsh sunlight create an otherworldly landscape that captivates the imagination. In this particular depiction, Asia takes center stage on our precious blue planet. The vastness of landmasses juxtaposed against expansive oceans showcases Earth's diverse geography. Clouds swirl above continents like brushstrokes on canvas while stars twinkle in the infinite expanse beyond. Detlev van Ravenswaay's artistic prowess shines through his masterful creation, allowing us to marvel at both the grandeur and fragility of our existence within the solar system. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's quest for exploration beyond our earthly boundaries and ignites curiosity about what lies beyond this celestial dance between rock and life-giving atmosphere.
