(urth) The significance of Apu Punchau

[Craig Brewer]

Plus, it is specifically called a "painting," if I remember correctly, no? Still, that could be another case of words with broader uses like "sailor" or "ship." I don't recall there being actual photography mentioned anywhere in New Sun by which to make a distinction.

We worked out earlier in 2008 that the composition of the picture described does not match any of the publicized Apollo 11 photos. If it is literally a painting, the artist took considerable liberties or it is some other moon landing. Alan Bean does similar paintings, but did not begin until 1982.
