i worship this. ancient statues and paintings and hymns are cool for imagination, but this is the moon that i pray to. this is the tiny planet that earth snagged up in it’s gravitational grasp like a treasure! this is the giant rock that circles the sky, that affects our tides and the behavior of most living things and inspires our art and grants a sense of safety in the dark and reminds us of the relentless passing of time in a beautiful ceaseless show of light with a pattern that mimics life’s highs and lows? this is a God we are looking at!!!
my brain can barely wrap around the perspective. it’s such a subversion of our reality— our home planet looking small while wearing the same shadows the moon normally flaunts. the moon gets to observe the same cycles that she gifts to us reflected back on our own planet’s surface! and we get to have a high quality picture of a GOD looking down on earth oh my GOODNESS i could squeal
from the artemis II space mission - please click on the images or visit the original site for full quality, i beg you. these pictures deserve to be viewed in their clearest form!
