If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God! In witnessing this, and realizing their insignificance amidst the vast universe, the planet’s inhabitants went mad…Īsimov’s 'Nightfall' is a response to a quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s ‘Nature' essay (1836): Once every 2,000 years, an eclipse brought darkness to the planet, which in turn revealed a sky filled with stars. 'Nightfall' is a 1941 science fiction novelette by American writer Isaac Asimov about the coming of darkness to the people of a planet ordinarily illuminated by sunlight at all times. In Ala Ebtekar’s 'Nightfall' series, the book pages from Asimov’s 'Nightfall' have been treated with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype), and exposed by the night sky - left from dusk to dawn.
