. # 1 (purple for the Moon)
Earth's one and only Moon.  This picture was taken in 7/93, when it was
almost at full phase.  At this time, the Moon was the closest to Earth
for that year.  If you hold the image at arms length, you will be able
to see the "man in the moon" left of center; the dark areas are the
"eyes" and "mouth", while the dark area right of the bright spot (middle
left of center) is the "nose".  The Moon is about 1 1/3 light-seconds
away; that is, a light beam (like a laser beam) travels about 186,000
miles/300,000 kilometers in 1 second. Our Apollo astronauts took days.
