It appears many paintings get the 'New Moon' wrong. This is a new moon. Compare it to Alex Colville's new moon painting here. This painting along with others are headed to the moon according to this New York Times article.
'The Lunar Codex, an archive of contemporary art, poetry and other cultural artifacts of life on Earth, is headed to the moon.'
I dont get it why they would bother doing that while there are more urgent matters at hands.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to read about.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch of the moon in your Friday-post!
ReplyDeleteSadly we have so much light-pollution here in the city.
I still think it´s funny in our language (German) the moon is male and the sun is female. And to me it makes more sense.
Roentare, I agree, it seems a strange thing to do.
ReplyDeleteOh, now we're just going to dump our stuff on the moon too. Of course, seeing where this is going with the ring of the moon might be a bad sign of things to come. A lot to think on. Meanwhile, the air quality is worrying me too. Thanks for the Saturday post!
ReplyDeleteWhy are we sending moon pictures to the moon? Seems odd to me
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteI hope the people living on the moon enjoy it! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWe should just look up and enjoy whatever we can see of the moon. A full moon usually gives us a sight of great pleasure.
ReplyDeleteFascinating!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these facts, Christine. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get into the NY Times, but that is an amazing painting.
