Více o knize

<i>Full Moon</i> is a photographic journey to the Moon, featuring NASA's 32,000 images from the Apollo missions. For the first time, NASA has permitted 900 'master' negatives and transparencies to be scanned offsite, resulting in the sharpest space images ever produced. Michael Light has curated a composite journey that includes the launch, a spacewalk, lunar orbit, landing, exploration, and the return to Earth. Five expansive gatefold panoramas showcase the stunning lunar landscape. These photographs capture not only the intricate details of lunar exploration hardware but also the profound aesthetics of space, representing the pinnacle of landscape photography. Readers are invited to engage with these images beyond mere spectacle, evoking the disorientation and excitement experienced by the astronauts. The Moon's surface and its remarkable light are depicted with striking clarity. Originally published in 1999 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first Moon landing, this milestone work was celebrated globally and released in eight countries. The new compact edition maintains the superb quality of the original, making this extraordinary collection accessible to a broader audience.
