An astronaut in a lunar crater surveys an unbelievable sight -- an enormous BBC Micro home computer, embedded sideways in the moon:sdusty surface like the monolith from Arthur C. Clarke's 2001.  Red rays emit from it in all directions, while in the background there appears to be an eclipse, the sun obscured by the Earth.

Mistigram: [profile] blippypixel pays tribute here to the #MOSTechnology6502 processor used in the #BBCMicro home computer in this high resolution graphics animation loop. (Many other historically critical machines by Atari, Apple, Nintendo and Commodore, relied on the 6502 -- which over nearly a half-century has been manufactured in quantities approaching six billion.)

This composition of course also incorporates an homage to the #Monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.
