EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking artwork captures the serene beauty of a sunset and moonrise as seen from Earth's orbit. The image showcases a mesmerizing view across our planet's surface, with the Sun gracefully setting on the horizon in the lower left corner. In perfect harmony, the Moon takes its place in the center right, while a magnificent comet passes by in front of part of the Milky Way galaxy in the distance. The ethereal haze along Earth's limb is none other than our own atmosphere, gradually fading into space around 100 kilometers above us. Here, it is illuminated by the radiant glow of the setting Sun, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that fills our hearts with wonder. Every element within this artwork tells a story - from silhouetted landscapes to rays of sunlight piercing through space. The deep blue hues blend seamlessly with atmospheric reds and twinkling stars scattered across infinity. It serves as a reminder of how small we are amidst this vast universe yet connected to every celestial body surrounding us. Detlev van Ravenswaay has masterfully crafted this illustration, bringing together artistry and scientific accuracy to create an immersive experience for all who gaze upon it. It invites us to contemplate our place in space and marvel at its boundless wonders.
