‘DESCENDING TO 30 MILES, the rocket passes over #Aristarchus, the moon's brightest crater. Fissure at the top is known on lunar maps as Schroeter's Canyon.’

The moon. The bright crater just above 9 o'clock is Aristarchus. Tycho is just off 6 o'clock with loads of lines leading from it. All impact craters. Tried a tripod this time.
The Moon. Trying different settings to bring out the features. Aristarchus really does shine.
More #Moon.
Just read its a #SuperMoon as well. Never that impressed.

#Aristarchus's #heliocentric model, proposed 18 centuries before #Copernicus, is a powerful reminder of how suppressed ideas resurface in the #history of science.

The idea that the earth goes around the sun has an ancient precedent: the heliocentric theory of Aristarchus of Samos.
A look at what he thought, why he thought it, and what other people thought of it.
