Space Odyssey, "Aries 1B" flies past a crescent Moon, while extending the landing legs, by me.

I did a new version of the short video, Eagles over 2001 Moonscape. * Fixed some minor technical issues. * Better render quality. * Brightened stars a little * Lowest Eagle now passes behind foreground rock. * Music added "Cloudless" by Cousin Silas.

Superb!

One of many versions Alexei Leonov painted of his historic spacewalk.

We were delighted to include this image in the September issue of "Odyssey" as part of our interview with Helen Sharman.

Today’s prompt in @spacetober_challenge is Star. I thought I’d share a digital composition that I ve created and use as part of my Sciart & science art workshop resources. Science outreach is one of my passions - the sharing of science knowledge through fun and creativity. #Spacetober #Sciart

Jet/Plane is the prompt for today’s Spacetober Challange. This is my digital artwork of the Shuttle piggyback on a specially adapted Boeing 747. From my Circles Portfolio. #spacetober_challenge #sciart #digital

One for those of you watching this on a phone!

The "Discovery" from 2001 at one point had tension cables along the spine, and large cooling vanes, (required for the nuclear engines). Here's my take on that

Another alternate design for 2001's "Discovery", this version is generally known as the "Dragonfly" design.

Spacetober prompt for today is Historic Figures. I’ve created a portrait of Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong. From my Circles Portfolio. #Spacetober #digital #sciart

Hire Mark for your space art - he is awesome.

The universe is beautiful

Today’s prompt for Spacetober Challenge is Spacecraft. The NASA Space Shuttle was a spacecraft that launched like a rocket and landed like an airplane. It was the first reusable spacecraft capable of carrying large satellites and crew to orbit…🧵 1/2

68 years ago #OTD, Sputnik 1 (PS-1), the world’s first artificial satellite, was launched from Tyuratam (now the Baikonur Cosmodrome) aboard a two-stage rocket, a variant of the R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. Painting by Andrei Sokolov. beyondearthsky.blogspot.com/2025/09/sput...

I don't know if it's in there, but 'Babylon 5 at 20' is one of the best behind the scenes books I own, period.

Hitem3d This model of Thunderbird 2 shows the problems it has with objects. Text is mangled up horribly. Straight sharp edges get wobbles and bumps Regular repeated elements get randomised. Not usable, except maybe in the background. But who wants a million polygon background element?

Love this. The Voyagers always make me think of Carl Sagan and his book "Pale Blue Dot."

Today marks the 60th anniversary of Thunderbirds, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, and which broadcast its first TV appearance on 30 September 1965. To celebrate this I’ve created a series of digital artworks. FAB #Thunderbirds #DigitalArt

Wow…seven years ago already. All space artists dream of exhibiting in a NASA art exhibition. To be approached directly by NASA for permission to exhibit one of my space paintings is on a completely different level of excitement and satisfaction. I still feel it now as I look back at these images.
