Blue Earth Marble With Natural Earth Continents, Recycled Glass, 5 In A Pouch, 1 Inch Diameter

Product Information

Taken by either Ron Evans or Harrison Schmitt of the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the Moon, it is one of the most reproduced images in history. During the first half-day of the flight Schmitt spent more time at the windows than the other two combined, but he never said a word about seeing a whole Earth. Warning - small celestial bodies, choking hazard The geographic art is expertly kiln fired at over 1000 degrees, creating an all-glass masterpiece that will last a lifetime! In 2002, NASA released an extensive set of satellite-captured imagery, including prepared images suitable for direct human viewing, as well as complete sets suitable for use in preparing further works.

Taken with a Hasselblad film camera, it was the first photograph taken of the whole round Earth and is believed to be the most reproduced image of all time.This paint flows easily and is high opacity, which means it covers well so you need less of it to achieve the desired result.

At the time, 1 km/pixel was the most detailed imagery available for free, and permitted for reuse [32] without a need for extensive preparatory work to eliminate cloud cover and conceal missing data, or to parse specialized data formats. Limited to only 2,999 WORLDWIDE you will need to act quickly to secure this highly sought after release. Use Matt Emulsion inside only, on any walls, old plaster, cement render, plasterboard and primed wood and metal that aren’t subject to heavy traffic. If you want to paint kitchens, bathrooms, doors, skirting boards or radiators, then the Eggshell would be the finish to go for.Six of them were selected amid great nerdy fanfare in 1965 but none had been assigned to a mission until Schmitt got a seat on the very last planned flight. NASA has also applied the name to a 2012 series of images which cover the entire globe at relatively high resolution. These are composite images composed of data stitched together from thousands of images taken at different times by satellites. He got inspired during an LSD trip, seeing a "psychedelic illusion" of the Earth's curvature, convincing him that a picture of the entire planet would change how humans related to it.

The nighttime views were obtained with the new satellite's "day-night band" of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared, and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, gas flares, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight. Nice to give them something truly special as a gift, I’m sure they will appreciate them for many years to come. You can see from pole to pole and across oceans and continents and you can watch it turn and there's no strings holding it up, and it's moving in a blackness that is almost beyond conception.The concept originiates from Mylands' vast knowlege of antique restoration, flooring finishes and decorative paints for interiors, film, television and theatre. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
