The Spiral Sky, by John Foster

In this 1990 hypothetical view, a rocky planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, with jagged spires piercing its frozen liquid surface, has an unusual nighttime view of its home galaxy, with rose and blue clouds of dust and gas adding color to the spiral arms radiating from the bright galactic center.

People of Pinnacle Point, by Lucy West

In the Western Cape Province of South Africa at Mossel Bay a prehistoric story is being unearthed. Between 170,000 and 40,000 years ago people inhabited the coastal caves of Mossel Bay on a promontory called Pinnacle Point.

Archaeologists have recently unearthed remarkable clues about these cave-dwelling people that left behind evidence of a flourishing lifestyle derived from the coastal marine life.

Pinnacle Point is still a popular spot for humans, now sporting luxury golf courses and beautiful modern homes atop the ancient cliffs. But Lucy’s painting depicts Pinnacle Point of the very distant past when the fire-lit caves of our early ancestors glowed some 75,000 years ago and the subtle starlight of the Milky Way sparkled against the darkness of an ancient summer night sky.

Starcatcher, by Kim Poor

The Whirlpool Galaxy (M-51) in Canes Venaciti, near the Big Dipper, is actually an interacting pair of colliding galaxies.

Normally seen face-on from Earth, the Artist has rendered an impossible view, close up, at a shallow angle. The smaller galaxy passed too close to the larger one, and was “captured” by one of its spiral arms.

Only the Stars Endure, by Armand Cabrera

This painting was created as a meditation on life’s brevity in the vast time stream of the cosmos. The rocky forms hint at ancient structures eroded over eons.

Celestial Sphere, by Dave Ginsberg

Beautiful meldings of art and science known as orreries are mechanical models of the Solar System. They were first used in the 18th century to demonstrate the motions of the planets. It was not commonly accepted that the Earth and the other planets orbited the Sun until astronomer Nicolaus published his mathematical description in 1543, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres). Background image: David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, Mapping the Heavens in 1693.

This original digital artwork was created entirely on the computer using software imaging tools similar to those used in 3-D animated movies and video games. The image you see is a view of a virtual 3-D model, complete with lighting, shading, and surface textures.

Proxima’s Planet, by David A. Hardy

This is a view of the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, 4 light years distant. Proxima is a red dwarf, a celestial glowworm only about as large as Jupiter.

This scene is from a hypothetical planet close enough to bask in the warmth of this tiny sun.

The Alpha Centauri system, to which belongs, is a triple star system. The other two stars are shown in the upper right, one of which is nearly a twin to our Sun.
