A glimpse of the moon - Kaoyo (original title "Kaimani No Tsuki - Kaoyo"),from the series "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" (Tsuki Hyakushi"), 1886 (Meiji period). Ukiyo-e woodblock print in vertical oban format; ink, color and embossing on paper, 39 x 26 cm. The voyeur in this picture is Lord Ko no Moronao, the chief retainer of the 14th-century Ashikaga Takauji. Moronao fell in love with Kaoyo, the reputedly beautiful wife of shogunal official Enya Takesada, and contrived to have her as his wife. When his advances were rejected, Moronao plotted to have Kaoyo's husband executed. The story of Enya's retainers who avenge their lord's unjust death became famous in the kabuki play 'Chushingura'. The motif a man peeping through the gap of a fence at an unsuspecting woman is common in Japanese literature and visual arts and known as 'kaimami'.

akg4881590 Toyohara Chikanobu (1838-1912), often known by his contemporaries as Yoshu Chikanobu, was a prolific woodblock artist active during the Meiji Era of Japan. He served as a soldier for the Tokugawa loyalists at first, but following the Shogitai's surrender, he was remanded to the Takada domain, and in 1875 CE, he decided to become an artist.He soon become renowned as a highly skilled ukiyo-e artist, with his works ranging from Japanese mythology to depictions of the battlefields from the wars of his time to women's fashions and shunga (erotic art). He produced a great many war prints in triptych format, documenting the Satsuma Rebellion, the First Sino-Japanese War and the First Russo-Japanese War, among other conflicts and events.

alb3885267 A variety of single-celled organisms have ventured out of the ocean and onto the rocky remains of two volcanic calderas, adding color to an otherwise monochromatic landscape. While the lack of breathable oxygen would be anathema to complex life forms like ourselves, this primitive atmosphere was a rich source of sustenance for these terrestrial vanguards.. 770 million years after the formation of the Earth, 3.8 billion years ago, the first life may have appeared in the form of simple, single-celled organisms. Bacteria and archaea may have even found a way to populate the otherwise sterile and calamitous surface. The atmosphere would likely have consisted of gases vented by volcanoes: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, methane, hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor. There was probably no oxygen in the air at all.

alb3882379 Dome-shaped stromatolites, averaging three feet high and four feet wide, populate the shallow shore of an ancient sea 3 billion years ago. The Moon looms near the horizon, much closer to the Earth than it is now and therefore appearing considerably larger, but otherwise looking much like the moon we know today.. 3 billion years ago the first macro evidence of life on Earth may have appeared in the form of large aggregations of microorganisms and associated sediments known as stromatolites. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, were likely one of the primary contributors to these aggregations. During the Archean Eon the Earth's atmosphere contained very little oxygen. Cyanobacteria would have thrived during this time as they employ photosynthesis to combine water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to create their food, while the byproducts of this process are oxygen and calcium carbonate. Billions of years of photosynthetic processes by cyanobacteria and other living organisms are likely the primary source of the oxygen we breathe. They also provided the oxygen that forms the protective ozone layer, filtering the shorter wavelengths of ultraviolet light from the Sun that are harmful to most forms of life.. Varieties of stromatolites still flourish to this day with well-known formations in parts of Australia, Brazil, and the Bahamas.

alb9480607 Turkish version of the Wonders of creation, Formation of the crescent of the moon, This is an Ottoman illuminated and illustrated Turkish version of Ajib al-makhlqt (Wonders of creation) by Zakary al-Qazwn (d. 692 AH / 1293 CE), made at the request of the Vizier Murtaza Paa (Murtaá Psh) (fl. eleventh century AH / seventeenth CE). The codex was completed in 1121 AH / 1717 CE by Muammad ibn Muammad Shkir Rzmah-i Nthn. There are 444 paintings illustrating the text. The binding is not original to the manuscript.

alb9463882 By Request, Picture of Fujiwara Yasumasa Playing the Flute by Moonlight, a Painting Shown at the Exhibition for the Advancement of Painting in Autumn 1882, February 1883, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi; Publisher: Akiyama Buemon, Japanese, 1839 - 1892, 14 3/16 × 28 3/16 in. (36.04 × 71.6 cm) (image, assembled, vertical ban triptych)14 5/8 × 28 11/16 in. (37.15 × 72.87 cm) (sheet), Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper, Japan, 19th century, For the Competitive Painting Exhibition (Kaiga Kyshinkai) held in October 1882 in Tokyo, Yoshitoshi painted a hanging scroll of the flute player story. The painting must have been very well received, because soon after the exhibition the publisher Akiyama Buemon urged Yoshitoshi to create a print version of it, which since then has become his iconic masterpiece. Yoshitoshi had to adapt the composition from a vertical to a horizontal format. In the painting, the thief stands directly behind Yasumasa and both are illuminated by the moon from above. For the panoramic view of the triptych, Yoshitoshi spread the reeds over all three panels, moved the moon to the far left and the thief to the right, next to Yasumasa.

alb5568620 A scene portraying the early stages of a solar system forming, when the (proto-)planet(-s) are heavily bombarded with smaller bodies, such as asteroids and comets. The presence of the bombarding objects is abundant, as you can see here. This hadean condition may have been sparked by a gas giant migrating closer to the star, hence nudging the rocks into unstable orbits.. Some astronomers believe this late heavy bombardment occured 3.8-4.1 GYs ago. Asteroid and comet impacts were much greater in number than today, very early in Earth's history.

alb5566735 April 26, 2018 - Venus low in the twilight in an April evening sky, with Orion and the winter stars setting in the west. Venus is between the Hyades and Pleiades.

alb5567481 August 12/13, 2017 - Two bright Perseid meteors over the moonlit landscape of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada. The waning gibbous moon is off frame at right providing the illumination. Smoke in the air from forest fires provides the banding and haze in the sky. A faint aurora colorrs the horizon yellow-green.. The meteors point back to the radiant point in Perseus. The Double Cluster is at centre; M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, is at right. Capella is low above the northeast horizon. Polaris is just above the upper meteor. The base image contains the sky and ground, and the meteor at upper left. The bright meteor at centre is from a later exposure, with its layer blended with Lighten mode and masked to reveal only the meteor, and rotated to align its sky to the base image sky, so the meteor is in the correct location with respect to the stars.

alb5566072 Evidence exists that make astronomers believe that the Earth and the Moon were created when a Mars-sized object slammed into the early proto-earth, about 4.6 billion years ago. Recent findings suggest that heavier metals like gold, platinum, palladium and other iron-loving elements found in Earth's and the Moon's crusts and mantles came from similar, but much smaller impacts at the final stage of formation.

alb5565842 December 24, 2014 - A 180 degree panorama of the winter sky at the City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico, with Orion rising at left and the waxing moon (overexposed) beside Mars setting at right. Zodiacal Light can be seen behind the moon at right. High haze and clouds are moving in.
