I haven’t looked at the Moon the same way since every image the astronauts took during NASA’s Apollo Missions got published. Here, I’ve picked out some photos of the lunar surface. I especially like the last one because of the hand reflection. It will soon be 50 years since the first manned landing, but the true space age is yet to come (I promise a future post on it).

You can see the Project Apollo Archive’s collection of more than 10,000 high-resolution images on Flickr.

Until the middle twentieth century, it was impossible to see how mere atoms and molecules could account for the intricacy and elegance, the fitting of form to function, of a living thing.
