'Moon Atlas' includes two main sections: in the first, the Moon is illustrated with more than forty shots in a detailed sequence of phases the second part collects the unpublished chromatic experiments Missoni has made with his photographs.

The book is introduced in a conversation with the artist and presents an extract from the famous astronomy treatise of Galileo Galilei. Subsequently, this passion led him to photograph the ever-changing appearance of the Moon in a rigorous, almost scientific way while, over the years, also pursuing his own artistic project that has been realised with the publication of a Lunar Atlas. His interest in this celestial body originated in childhood when h. His interest in this celestial body originated in childhood when he began to explore the surface with a small telescope, back in the 1960s when space programmes made the first lunar explorations possible. The Italian photographer Luca Missoni has always cultivated a great passion for the Moon. Welcome to MOON-Light, an interactive Atlas of the Moon entirely produced from images grabbed with an inexpensive web-cam, the grayscale QuickCam (from. This sits squarely within the southern half of Hercules but, despite its size, doesn’t cause much other disruption.The Italian photographer Luca Missoni has always cultivated a great passion for the Moon. There’s a notable intruder to Hercules’s floor in the form of 13km Hercules G.
Hercules also has a terraced rim but unlike the cracked floor inside Atlas, the floor of Hercules appears absolutely smooth apart from a few rounded hills. This is another circular crater which, like Atlas, appears to us as an ellipse as a result of foreshortening. Rim to rim, Hercules lies just 30km to the west of Atlas. Hercules CraterĪfter looking at Atlas, it’s quite amazing how different nearby Hercules appears. There are few craterlets visible on Atlas’s floor through amateur telescopes, the most obvious being a 4.4km example near the northern rim.
The rilles that form Rimae Atlas almost appear to spread, like a branching river, north from pyroclastic Atlas South.įurther evidence of volcanism can be seen from several dark, haloed craters spread across Atlas’s floor – these are craters surrounded by smaller pyroclastic flow. The rest of the floor is relatively light in appearance. These are pyroclastic patches, the result of ‘fire fountains’ spouting molten material from below the crater’s floor.
