01. Nasa inspiration, it is februari 1962; astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., flight surgeon Wiliam Douglas and equipment specialist Joseph W. Smidth leave crew quarters
    prior to the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. Glenn is in his pressure suit and carrying the protable ventilation unit.

02. My first technical drawings of selene, the tabletops needed to float, like a spaceship, away from gravity.

03. First tests in resin, working on a monogame enlighted surface of the moon, by engraving the surface.   

04. Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. wearing the pressure suit, photographed here at Cape Canaveral Florida, during preflight training activities for the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. 

05. First thoughts and tech drawings on how the turning points of the selene tabletops should look like, the blue are calculations of the pressure on the parts during the use of the table. 

2018

1. Trying out different kelvins of light.

2. Jan 2018; start of creating the construction, together with welder Jelte Slot, in his (cold) atelier in Zwolle.
   Thinking and testing how to make the circles as strong as possible with as little material as possible, to gain weight for the tabletop to ultimately float without the need of support underneath.

3. After the circles we started with the frame, starting out in rvs, which is very strong but also very much reactive to heat exposure of the welding (more deformation).
   Jelte is using his bodyweight to push back the metal in place after welding.

4. Experts help from Egbert with the metal lathe work.

5. Recieved amazing glass which is coated to change color in different light conditions during the day. very matching the concept of selene, emphazising the changes of the cycle of life. 

6. July 2019, the final result of months of work; first time putting all the pieces together. The moon tabletop (the lowest one) is placed in it's turning point with an angle upwards,
   this to o make sure that with the glass added the moon will still be 100% horizontal.
