THIS IS a BRIAN ENO APOLLO ATMOSPHERES AND SOUNDTRACKS
Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks is a studio album by the British musician and producer Brian Eno, the Canadian producer Daniel Lanois, and Brian Eno's brother, composer Roger Eno. 
It was released on 29 July 1983 through EG Records.
The music was originally written for For All Mankind, a documentary film by Al Reinert about the Apollo program, though the film was not released until 1989.
The score was written and performed by the trio.
Music from the album has appeared in the films 28 Days Later, Traffic, and Trainspotting, whose soundtrack sold approximately four million copies.
Two of the songs from the album, "Silver Morning" and "Deep Blue Day", were issued as a 7" single on EG Records.
The music was originally composed in 1983 for a documentary film, For All Mankind, that was released in 1989. 
The tracks from the album that remain on the final edit of the film are:
"Always Returning" "Drift" "Silver Morning" "Stars" "Under Stars" "The Secret Place" "An Ending (Ascent)" The newer tracks from the film that are not on the album (but appear on Music for Films III) are:
"Sirens" (Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois) "Theme for 'Opera'" (Brian Eno, Roger Eno) "Fleeting Smile" (Roger Eno) "Tension Block" (Daniel Lanois) "Asian River" (Brian Eno) "Quixote" (Roger Eno) "4-Minute Warning" (John Paul Jones) "For Her Atoms" (Lydia Kavina (Theremin), Misha Malin)
In the liner notes, Eno describes his experience of watching the Apollo 11 landing in 1969 and his sense that the strangeness of the event was compromised by the low quality of the television transmission and an excess of journalists' commentary. 
He thus wished to avoid the melodramatic and uptempo way the event was presented.
The album was released on 29 July 1983 by EG Records.
A release in the US followed in September 1983.
On 19 July 2019, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, a special version of the album was released, featuring the remastered original, as well as an accompanying album of 11 new instrumental compositions by Brian Eno, Roger Eno & Daniel Lanois that reimagine the soundtrack to For All Mankind.[13
The orbital photograph of the lunar surface is a hand held Hasselblad-camera photograph made during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. 
The ID-number of the photograph is AS17-150-23069
It shows a closeup view of the most southern section of Mare Serenitatis on the eastern part of the Moon's near side. 
Also visible are Promontorium Archerusia (the oblong system of hills), Brackett (the shallow crater), Dorsum Nicol (the wrinkle ridge), Rimae Plinius (the three grooves), and the northern part of the rim of the pronounced crater Plinius. 
On the album cover, the upper margin of the orbital Hasselblad photograph is rotated 90 degrees to the right. 
Also visible on the cover photograph is the brightness of Mare Serenitatis to the north (rightward) of the shallow crater Brackett and Rimae Plinius. 
When observed through a telescope, this region shows a subtle yellowish or tannish grey color. 
The region to the south (leftward) of Mare Serenitatis shows a subtle bluish grey, which is the overall color of Mare Tranquillitatis. 
On the cover these subtle real colors are not reproduced, only the abrupt change of brightness is visible.
The small photograph on the back side of the LP cover is AS14-73-10116, made during the Apollo 14 mission in February 1971. 
It shows small sections of the walled plains Fra Mauro and Bonpland. 
The grooves on the floors of both walled plains are known as Rimae Parry. 
The distinct and largest one of the small bowl shaped craters in this photograph is Fra Mauro F.
