Excited to see Fra Mauro World Map in the Biblioteca Marciana, Museo Correr in Venice today. Created c1450. It’s orientated differently to most modern maps, with Europe in bottom right corner. As everyone does, I looked up where I’m from (Britain) #framauro #worldmap #medieval #museocorrer #venice
A stunning black and white image of Earthrise as seen from lunar orbit during the Apollo 14 mission. The sunlit crescent of Earth peeks over the lunar horizon, showcasing the cratered terrain of the lunar farside. This photo was taken from the command module Kitty Hawk fifty years ago.

A panoramic view of the lunar surface near the Apollo 14 landing site. The Modular Equipment Transporter (MET) is prominent in the foreground, with astronaut footprints and the American flag visible. In the distance, Turtle Rock is seen, and a golf ball, possibly hit by Alan Shepard, is visible as a small white dot. This mosaic, created from photos taken by Ed Mitchell, offers a detailed look at the Apollo 14 mission's exploration of the Fra Mauro highlands.
