Lunar transit: spectacular photo of the moon masking the sun
Low estimate
High estimate
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. On November 22, 2014 from 5:29pm to 6:04pm, the moon partially obscured the sun's view making what is known as a "lunar transit". This spectacular image always shows a sharp horizon on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere around it to distort sunlight. The horizon is so sharp that lunar mountains and valleys can be seen around the perimeter of the lunar disk.
Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on label on back. 40.6 X 40.6CM with margins.
