    Czechoslovakian lapel badge commemorating the Apollo 11 lunar landing , 1969
[Photograph | Tim O'Riley] [click on the image to progress]
  
   
 
    The text on the badge reads: První Lidé Na Mésíci - Armstrong Aldrin (First People Upon the Moon - Armstrong Aldrin).

Following is a selection of material and spreads from Accidental Journey, an artist's book featuring images, stories, facts, anecdotes and quotations relating to lunar exploration. This was inspired by a serendipitous encounter, at an observatory in Dublin in 2005, with a memento from the Apollo 11 mission. (4-colour, 108 pages, 2009)

The book relates to a long-format animation, details of which can be seen here.
