Dimensions (HxWxD):

60 × 60 × 2 cm

Materials:

For the depiction of the central moon, I have made oil paint from material that originated on the surface of the moon, from lunar meteorites. These meteorites start as a part of the lunar surface and are ejected into space when the moon is impacted by other space rocks like asteroids. The ejected surface material is captured by the earth's gravity until it eventually crashes into the earth's surface.

Also known as a lunar corona (crown) or glory, this occurs when moonlight is diffracted through tiny water droplets or ice crystals, usually in thin clouds high in the atmosphere.
