Emile Zola – We smoke pipes while gazing at the Moon

Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola (/ˈzlə/;[1] French: [e.mil zo.la]; 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902)[2] was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J’Accuse…! Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902.[3][4]

The Zola Crater was not approved by the IAU (International Astronomy Union).

Here is a short quote by Zola:

Anton Chekov – Don’t tell me that the moon is shining

Anton Chekov – Don’t tell me that the moon is shining

A quote attributed to Anton Chekov, a Russian naturalist playwright who lived from 1860 – 1904.
