Mary McIntyre AstronomyMemory from 2 years ago. I saw Steve Knight's gorgeous photo of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi and just had to create a #PastelDrawing of it. It's a simple drawing but it has so much impact #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #MoonDrawing
This popped up on my Facebook memories from a year ago. #PastelSketch on black paper of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi I used an awesome photo taken by Steve Knight as my reference #AstronomySketch #LunarSketch #MoonSketch #SpaceArt
Some #Moon photos I took on 1st May '23 #Oxfordshire, UK #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor #Celestron 3x Barlow + #ZWOASI120MC camera. Best 25% of a 2,000 frame video #LunarAstrophotography #SinusIridum #Aristarchus #Gassendi #MareHumorum
Kenny Pearce"in order to make excuses for the deceptive and error-prone faculty which #God gave you, you suggest that the fault lies in nothingness"

#PastelSketch of the Sun rising over #LunarCrater #Gassendi, sketched on black paper with #StabiloCarbOthello pastel pencils using the awesome photo taken by @Steve_P_Knight as a reference. Thanks for letting me sketch it! #AstronomySketching #LunarSketching #MoonArt

that this kind of picture [ used to illustrate #monism / #immanentism ] is being widespread across #cultures and times, is referred to in #GenevièveBrykman's "Bayle's Case for Spinoza" (PAS, vol. 88), citing the early #Gassendi secretary and later orient traveller #FrancoisBernier:
"Various Indian and Persian
philosophers, Bernier observes, 'will palm you off with fine
comparisons and say that God is like an immense ocean, in
which many vials, full of water, move; that those vials, wherever
they should go, would always be in the same ocean, in the same
water; and that if they should break, the waters contained in
them would then be united to their whole, to that ocean of which
they are portions'."(p.262)
