Here is a creative video on how the moon is drawn incorrectly. Obviously it's art, so we're used to representing the moon as an incorrect symbol. It also made me think about how crescent moons are represented on various flags depending on where on earth the country is located.

About a month ago I saw a green meteor/shooting star. A little while later there were more of them reported around the globe. It is very unusual to see green ones because of their chemical composition.
Turns out certain satellites orbits are degrading after just two to five years and reentering earth's atmosphere. Doesn't strike me as a great investment on communication. In addition, this is getting so frequent that there are concerns about the ozone layer. Again.
Maybe Wall-e had it right. Dumping our garbage and space junk on let's say Mars might solve a few problems.
Or shooting it into the sun? The perfect incinerator!
ReplyDeleteCodex: too far but there are people that should explore Mars.;)
DeleteCodex: on a serious note. Space junk is a real problem. Shooting anything into space is ridiculously expensive.
DeleteInteresting 5 minutes but does it really matter whether it's in a painting or illustrating or flag? The moon is an object, yes, and if you are painting or drawing the moon as the primary object then yeah, accuracy would be a thing but the moon shape is also a symbol and symbols need not be accurate down to the last detail to be understood for what they are.
ReplyDeleteCodex: No. Doesn't matter, just thought it was neat to share, especially with all the moon lore.
DeleteAn impressive allegory, Wall-e captured imaginations, but now...? Fox News would probably label it woke, or Marxist. Insert face palm here.
ReplyDeleteCodex: An allegory getting close to reality. We'll those words no longer mean what they are supposed to mean.
DeleteBingo...but I must apologize...I just remembered your previous comment about keeping the darkness out of this space. Sorry, Codex.
DeleteCodex: No worries and thank you. You're vague enough that it won't be data mined. But getting confirmation that you've noticed that the definition of words is changing. *sad fistbump*
