“...Once a photograph of the Earth taken from outside is available...a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.” Fred Hoyle, astronomer, 1948
Tellus is the most ancient Roman goddess of the Earth. Servius (4thC AD) calls her “guardian deity of Earth and by extension, the globe itself’. Her consort is the sky god Caelus, whose name means the heavens or the starry sky.
