Description
The Moon is the closest celestial Body we can observe. When the Galaxy was still young, there was intense Impact of Meteors, and the largest Crater was named nowadays “Copernicus".
Nicolaus Copernicus was a polish Theologian and Administrator in the 16th century, that was interested in the movement of the Planets.
Until Copernicus, the prevailing Doctrine was that the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the Sun and Planets revolved around it.
Through Observation and Measurement, Copernicus was able to prove that the Earth and all the Planets moved in elliptical Orbits around the Sun.
(And was lucky enought not to be burned by Inquisition!)
This Proof triggered an earth-shattering Explosion of Science and Philosophy and changed humanity's Awareness of its place in the Universe. It marked sharply the Transition from the Dark Ages to the modern Era and the Age of Reason. ("Copernican Turn")
Thus, Copernicus gave us both, the loss of Heaven, but also the Dawn of our Freedom from Superstition and erroneous Beliefs.
He himself is forgotten, except for that huge Crater on the Moon, that can be seen when the Moon is full ...
Have a good Day under the Reign of Sun and Moon! :)

All hail Selene. A truly beautiful astral body very nicely depicted in this excellent render. :-)
ps. I could never forget Copernicus. :-D
:D Glad to read You did not forget Copernicus! Thank You for Your friendly Words. All Credits go to the Moon! ;)
Ein sehr schöner Render
Vielen Dank! Es freut mich, wenn es Dir gefällt! Hier noch der Text per Übersetzer:
Der Mond ist der uns am nächsten gelegene Himmelskörper, den wir beobachten können. Als die Galaxie noch jung war, gab es intensive Meteoriteneinschläge, und der größte Krater wurde später „Copernicus“ genannt.
Nikolaus Kopernikus war ein polnischer Theologe und Verwaltungsbeamter im 16. Jahrhundert, der sich für die Bewegung der Planeten interessierte. Bis zu Kopernikus war die vorherrschende Lehre, dass die Erde der Mittelpunkt des Universums sei und dass sich die Sonne und die Planeten um sie drehten. Durch Beobachtung und Messungen konnte Kopernikus beweisen, dass sich umgekehrt die Erde und alle Planeten in elliptischen Bahnen um die Sonne bewegten. (Und er hatte das Glück, nicht von der Inquisition verbrannt zu werden!
Dieser Beweis löste eine weltbewegende Explosion in Wissenschaft und Philosophie aus und veränderte das Bewusstsein der Menschheit über ihren wahren Platz im Universum. Er markierte den scharfen Übergang vom Mittelalter zur Moderne und zum Zeitalter der Vernunft. („Kopernikanische Wende“)
So bescherte uns Kopernikus sowohl den Verlust des Himmels der alten Zeiten, als auch den Beginn unserer Befreiung von Aberglauben und falschen Überzeugungen. Er selbst ist in Vergessenheit geraten, bis auf den riesigen Krater auf dem Mond, der bei Vollmond zu sehen ist ...
Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag unter der Herrschaft von Sonne und Mond! :)
Scheint mir der richtige Augenblick an Wissenschaft zu erinnern, wenn man sieht wie manche mit der Wissenschaft umgehen
Thank You! Not quite sure, what Kind of handling You refer to, but from my Experience: Science is made by Humans, so basically error-proned and tangled in Interests! If you are searching for ultimate Truth, you may have to look where you least expect it! :)
BEAUTY
Thank You, MU! Are these electronic Grids You created lately!? :)
Beautiful Moon that I can admire without needing to open the window this night when I can't sleep :) Thank You!
Glad to read it found Your Eye! So You have a Moon of Your own, now! :) But I hope You will sleep safe and sound and will not need to contemplate on the Moon! :)
A very beautiful image and many thanks for the info
Thats a great Honor, thank You! We need to think where we came from to decide where we want to go! :)
Marvellous image - very beautifully done!
Thank You much for leaving a good Word! Glad, You found it worth!
Super !
Glad to hear that, thank You, Master Water! Hope Yur Hurdles getting better!!!
Great image and information!
Thank You, rbowen, good to hear from You! Hope alls well on Your Side of the Globe!? May the Moon always shed its gentle Light on Your Ways! :)
Looks realisti ..
Well ... I hope so! ;)
It is an 8K-Moon-Image by NASA. My part was the Lighting and to arange an Displacement, so it became 3D! (But dont tell that Secret to the others! ;)
This really caught my eye! Amazing work & we owe a lot to Copernicus!
Very happy reading that! Yes, we always stand on the Shoulders of others before us and reach out. And everybody is important and plays a Role of his own ...
The moon is so beautiful and important, as is the rest of our celestial bodies. As you said, the loss of heaven still meant the gain of something else amazing.
This looks fantastic, love how you made it 3D :)
Yes, the Moon is much underrated, we shoul pay more Attention to it! You make me think about a Series on the Moon, because it is so close, but we are not aware of its Secrets. Lets see .... ;)
We lost our Place in the Center of the Universe, but were given Freedom ... If we look at the World today, I am in Doubt, if this - forced - Choice was the right one!? ....
@chrysaor Dunno but all we can do is the best with what hand we are dealt
