The Moon

Really nice video here with a 3D model of the Apollo 11 landing site, describing the various objects left behind.

Superb 3D panorama image of a Lunar Module interior here:

This is a Lunar Module (designated LM-2) that was built for a rerun of Apollo 5 that never happened, hence there still exists one example of the real thing. The others were either crashed onto the Moon or burned up in Earth's atmosphere once they'd fulfilled their purpose.

The door to the surface of the Moon is at the front,under the main instrument panel. Imagine opening that and peering down onto the grey, dusty, pitted surface of another world.

Subliminal Glastonbury advertising. He's clever that Chris Martin!

I well remember James Burke's broadcasts during the Apollo missions but I don't remember this retrospective, made for the 10th anniversary of Apollo 11.

Superb red moon tonight.. full moon on Monday I think...

Very impressive last night. Out for a walk when it was rising in the SW(ish). Got the full land effect as I approached the brow of the hill where I live. It looked huge and very Mars-like.

Conditions look very promising.

Beautifully bright tonight with moonlight flooding in the front window at the moment.

Yes, just walked the dog under a pristinely clear sky and greatly enjoyed the sight.

I'm very unlikely to be up for the partial eclipse at about 3:45am, mind!
