Content: Planets

For the first of my three books, Planets, i have selected images to use from the internet, 3 per planet here is how they will be laid out.









Content: Book

Looking for content for the book, thinking firstly of a quote for the first page of the book, starting with the book for planets.

Here are a list of quotes i have found so far:

- If you could see the earth illuminated when you were in a place as dark as night, it would look to you more splendid than the moon. — Galileo Galilei, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, 1632.

- The view of the Earth from the Moon fascinated me—a small disk, 240,000 miles away. It was hard to think that that little thing held so many problems, so many frustrations. Raging nationalistic interests, famines, wars, pestilence don't show from that distance.
— Frank Borman, Apollo 8, 'A Science Fiction World—Awesome Forlorn Beauty,' Life magazine, 17 January 1969.

- It's tiny out there...it's inconsequential. It's ironic that we had come to study the Moon and it was really discovering the Earth.
Bill Anders, Apollo 8, quoted in the 2008 Discovery TV series When We Left Earth.

- We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth. The fact that just from the distance of the Moon you can put your thumb up and you can hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything that you've ever known, your loved ones, your business, the problems of the Earth itselfall behind your thumb. And how insignificant we really all are, but then how fortunate we are to have this body and to be able to enjoy loving here amongst the beauty of the Earth itself.
Jim Lovell, Apollo 8 & 13 astronaut, interview for the 2007 movie In the Shadow of the Moon.

- It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
— Neil Armstrong
