Description
Moonshots presents stunning photos of space and Earth from NASA’s archives – taken by Gemini, Apollo, Space Commute, and ISS astronauts the use of high resolution Hasselblad cameras.
In December 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 captured images depicting Earth hanging like a lonely fruit in the vast darkness of space. The social and spiritual shock of that photograph—and those which followed—never fully diminished, whilst Apollo missions followed at an unbelievable pace, including the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969.
Moonshots is the definitive photographic chronicle of NASA space exploration—a giant slipcased book featuring more than 200 remarkable photographs from that eventful era created almost exclusively on large-format Hasselblad cameras. Though numerous these images have been reproduced in books and magazines over the years, one attribute of this unbelievable collection has seldom been exploited: the sheer size and resolution of the photography. Aerospace writer Piers Bizony scoured NASA’s archives of Hasselblad film frames to assemble the space fan’s ultimate will have to-have book—a gorgeous large-format hardcover presented in a heavy slipcase with die-cuts to represent the phases of the moon.
This resulting volume extracts a stunning selection of photographs captured by astronauts the use of Hasselblad equipment, many of them seldom previously published, let alone in this kind of lavish package. The Apollo voyages form the centerpiece of this amazing collection, but equally fabulous images from precursor Gemini missions are also featured, together with later photographs chronicling Space Commute missions and even the construction of the International Space Station.
