What Earth Would Look Like With Saturn’s Rings

March 21st, 2012 | Space

This is a video from YouTube User Roy Prol that demonstrates what Earth would look like with Saturn’s rings. He used 3d Max to create some pretty interesting (and apparently accurate) renderings of famous landscape photos from around the world.

The cities included:

  • Paris
  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Quito
  • Malmö
  • New York City
  • Ayers Rock
  • Madrid
  • Kuala Lumpur
  • Tehran
  • Cologne

Astronaut Paintings by Gregory Manchess

March 20th, 2012 | Space

These astronaut paintings are by Gregory Manchess, a renowned illustrator from Kentucky.  Manchess is an artist whose works combine a love of fine art and science fiction.  Professionally, he has contributed to Time, Atlantic Monthly, spreads for Playboy, Omni, Newsweek, and Smithsonian, and numerous book covers.  I really like these new astronaut paintings he created for a recent personal project. The abstract brush strokes look great contrasted with the eyes piercing through the helmets — pretty powerful stuff.

From the artist:

I’ve started a new series of paintings, just for me. Astronauts, past, present, or future, doesn’t matter. I was intrigued by Scott Carpenter’s face looking out from behind bright reflections bouncing off his face mask [1st painting, above]. And [in the second painting], a shuttle crewman stares with that timeless look.

As a kid, I was always looking skyward, staring out into interstellar space from behind the atmospheric face mask of Earth. I feel a kinship with these explorers. Perhaps it’s the promise of all that discovery.

There’s just something so fascinating about people in space suits.

 You should be able to load it on your computer, iPhones, or iPads without problems, but let me know if something doesn’t work just right.

I hope to add some moon music to go along with the design at some point in the future, so be on the look out for that.

The Most Astonishing Fact

The Most Astounding Fact - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil Degrasse Tyson is a bit of a hero of mine. He is an American Astrophysicist who earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard, Masters from The University of Texas at Austin, and his doctorate from Columbia University. He has devoted much of his life to science education and communication.

The video above is an edit of a TIME interview with Dr.

Tyson by Max Schlickenmeyer.  Time asked him “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?

” and this was his answer. Did he rehearse this?  Amazing!

It reminds me of the Sagan series videos I posted when I first started this site, found here.  Definitely try to watch those if you enjoyed this one.

Many Moons Embroidery

March 7th, 2012 | Space

Shaun Kardinal, based out of Seattle, Washington, is responsible for these fantastic embroidered Apollo images. He used photographs from an old Hasselblad catalog filled with astronauts from the late 1960’s missions that he had found in old antique store in his neighborhood.  From Kardinal:

I felt an immediate draw. Surely my love of Hasselblad’s cameras contributed to this, but there was a certain nostalgia I felt as well, even though I was born long after the events captured.

I knew for certain that I had to take it home with me, that I would find a purpose for it within my work.

That last image is of a Death Star if you didn’t notice…

I sure would love to find a magazine like that in an old store sometime.  And what Kardinal has done with the classic images is extraordinary.

For more images of the Apollo missions from Hasselblad, here is an online catalog.
