The Daguerreotype & Science

John Adams Whipple, Moon, 1851

During the mid 1800's, when the daguerreotype came along, is when photography began seeping into the world of science. John Adams Whipple was one of the main photographers who overlapped photography with sciences, taking an entire series of the moon. This is but one of the many moon photos that Whipple took. I think it's a really great photograph- I love how Whipple caught the moon in partial shadow.
