I am looking for pictures of the apollo 15 lunar landing and need to find a great, realistic backround showing the lunar surface , space & earth in the backround. Does anyone have any information for creating a backround for this project ?

I am going to make a 3 foot X 2 foot diorama of the apollo 15 lunar landing and need to find a great, realistic backround showing the lunar surface , space & earth in the backround. Does anyone have any information for creating a backround for this project ?


There is a background, lifesize, at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. They have a lunar model mockup that was used in the making of a movie. I couldn't find a photo of the lunar module and backdrop, but here is a backdrop for some of the space suits...

Did you look through the picture archives at NASA.gov? Lots of great images there, should be able to find pictures of the lunar surface.

Thanks Roland, great link. That backround is the kind i am looking for for 1 of the large spaces on my display cabinet Along with some gray mortar and some mountains ( probably out of styrofoam) unless i can find a better way. It should look pretty good.

I am doing that now, you must have read my mind. I have a few pictures of the earth from the moon and will use that on a black curved backdrop. Thanks Al.
