Brand New Framing

Limited edition color 20.5 x 29.25 print of an Alan Bean painting entitled 'The Hammer and the Feather,' numbered out of 650, signed in the lower border in pencil by Alan Bean and Dave Scott. This beautiful print depicts Apollo 15 Commander Scott simultaneously dropping a geologic hammer and a falcon feather on the lunar surface, a moment that correctly proved Galileo's theory that all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass. Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 29.5 x 38.5. In very fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the publisher, The Greenwich Workshop.

Well, Dave let them go and, since there is no atmosphere on the Moon, they fell side by side. They did fall more slowly than on Earth because the gravity is one-sixth that of Earth's.

Dave continued, "How about that. This proves that Mr. Galileo was correct in his findings."

After more than three and a half centuries, at a distance of 239,000 miles give or take a few, from his home in Florence, Italy, Galileo Galilei's discovery that "gravity pulls all bodies equally regardless of their weight" was clearly and vividly demonstrated before a television audience that spanned the planet Earth. He would have loved it."
