You know how we’ve been covering the whole “pictures from space” beat out here for some time now?  Well, we’re not alone–the Joseph Bellows Gallery is featuring a whole array of pictures from space in their show entitled Full Moon: The Apollo Missions.

See, what you may not be aware of is that this year marks the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 missions–yeah, the one with Tom Hanks (at least the movie version)–and so Michael Light has gathered several of NASA’s greatest hits to remind us all that the space agency, even in these dark times of woe and want, should still be relevant to give us all hope and some R&D.  Without research and development, folks, we’re never going to get past our current level.

And some of these pics are downright awesome, too–check out Harrison Schmidt’s “Command Module America From Lunar Module Challenger”.  I don’t care what level of interest you have in astrophysics–that’s just a really awesome shot.

The show runs through December 5th.
