I am having trouble finding an atrist or astronaut called "Allen Bean" . Is he possibly in the same line of work as the known author Baz Eldrin?

Yeah, it's strange that his name was spelled wrong in the title and right in the first post.

Have we had another hit-and-run post from Inconceivable here?

Maybe he is too busy counting all areas of paint 155 grey, and 154 grey. ;D

Maybe we should ask LO to change his handle to "inconseagullvible."

In the painting Our World At My Fingertips, I wonder if that is an accurate representation of the size of the earth as seen from the moon. Sort of tieing in with another thread that was started. If an astronaut was standing on the moon looking back at the earth the earth should be a disk 2.5 times the size of the moon seen from earth. The paintings are wonderful. Would love to have one in my collection.

I'd say it's a slight exaggeration of the earth's size. It should be about 2 degrees across from the moon, which translates to around 2 cm at arms length. In other words the earth should be less than the width of the thumb.

I don't think it really ties in with the "Earth size from the moon" thread, because that thread was about photographs. Bean's paintings shouldn't be looked at like photographs; yes, some of them are based on actual Apollo photographs, but artistic license has still been used in them. The Lunar Anomalies page also examined the paintings as if they were photographs, and their conclusions were very strange to say the least.
