Artists concept of a view across the surface of the Moon towards Earth in the distance

Artists concept of a view across the surface of the Moon towards Earth in the distance. In this image, the artist tries to capture one of the moons more bizarre realties: it is believed that the surface is buried under shattered rock, dust, and debris to a depth of 16 miles. This debris layer is the result of over four billion years of meteorites, micrometeorites, and comets striking the moons surface.
The Moon has no atmosphere to scatter sunlight, as a result the lunar sky appears velvety black, whether it is the middle of the day or midnight Selene time. Another consequence of the lack of an atmosphere is that surface temperatures vary widely, from 212 F during the day to minus 280 F at night

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of a breathtaking view across the surface of the Moon towards Earth in the distance. The image beautifully captures one of the moon's most intriguing realities - its surface buried under 16 miles of shattered rock, dust, and debris accumulated over billions of years from meteorites, micrometeorites, and comets striking its barren landscape. The absence of an atmosphere on the Moon creates a stunning visual effect as sunlight is not scattered, resulting in a velvety black lunar sky regardless of time. This unique characteristic is depicted with remarkable precision by the artist. Moreover, due to this lack of atmosphere, temperatures on the lunar surface experience extreme fluctuations ranging from scorching highs reaching 212 F during daylight hours to bone-chilling lows plummeting to minus 280 F at night. In this digitally generated artwork filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, viewers are transported into a surreal world where discovery and exploration take center stage. The distant Earth serves as a mesmerizing backdrop against which the rugged terrain and rolling hills create an otherworldly vista that ignites our imagination. Walter Myers' masterful creation invites us to ponder upon exogeology, astrogeology, exobiology, and astrobiology while marveling at both the beauty and harshness that define our celestial neighbor. This awe-inspiring piece evokes wonder about our place in space while reminding us how much there still is left to explore beyond our own planet's boundaries.
