About the date and publication history of this shot there is still some confusion, but it seems plausible that it was taken in June 1980. So, in case you are wondering: post-'Alien'

My brother, Ed Fairburn, put this image to a Star Map a few years ago.
Still one of my favourite pieces of his.

What does "late Space Age" mean? I'm not very educated in the space age chronology but when I think of it I tend to think we're still in early space age.
