SMART 1 / crash site

Replica of a work by the painter Donato Creti (1671-1749) from the series ‘Astronomical Observations’ (1711), which was commissioned by the artist - painted and minimally altered by a copyist. The copyist added a small shadow to the depiction of the moon that refers to the crash site of the lunar probe SMART 1 (ESA), which was deliberately destroyed in 2006 after a mission lasting several years. The outlines are based on a photograph taken by NASA's lunar probe ‘Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’, which captured the crash site.

The work was realized in the frame of an Artist-in-Science Residency at European Space Agency - ESA / ESOC in Darmstadt in 2022, hosted by Kultur einer Digitalstadt e.V..

Iran's president, foreign minister and others found dead at helicopter crash site

Iran helicopter crash: Mohammad Mokhber becomes acting president

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and the country’s foreign minister have been found dead hours after their helicopter crashed in fog. That leaves the Islamic Republic without two key leaders as extraordinary tensions grip the wider Middle East. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei quickly named a little-known vice president as caretaker Monday. The supreme leader has the final say in the Shiite theocracy. He insisted the government was in control, but the deaths mark yet another blow to a country beset by pressures both at home and abroad. Iran has offered no cause for the crash nor suggested sabotage brought down the helicopter. It fell in mountainous terrain in a sudden, intense fog.
