This is a poster I designed in 1980 for an outdoor event I co-organized in San Francisco to commemorate the 11th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the first landing of a person on the Moon.
I'm glad to see this telescope off to a good start, especially given that the regime almost prevented it from happening.
OMCA seems to change the online location of my poster every so often. This is the current link:

It is viewable online at the following link:

Astronaut Wiseman took photos with different settings. The one most people are seeing is the bright one.
Artist Don Davis merged both light & dark versions, then adjusted the result to represent what someone with dark-adapted eyes would likely see with the full Moon behind them.

Venus shines brightly at upper left in this orientation.
Photo taken by human beings heading toward the Moon for the first time in over 50 years.
Yet the anti-science, anti-democracy, theocratic regime in D.C. wants to gut NASA funding.
