Spiral, elliptical or neither? 🤔 The latest image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features a hard-to-categorise galaxy, NGC 2775. It has features of both elliptical and spiral galaxies – so what type is it? Read more 👉 esahubble.org/images/potw2... 🔭

fancy pigeon number 3

Sometimes making a reference for my multi-spectral paintings is ez pz. Other times it can be quite involved!

4 more states to go, then I’ve sold a piece of my art to every US state. Woahhhhh! Where are the space nerds in Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, and Wyoming? Once I catch them all, I’ll be rewarding myself with a fancy quesadilla. And maybe I will do a print give away!

This is what’s left when a massive star goes boom 💥 Last call for Spectrum of Chaos prints! They disappear at midnight PT tonight 🔭🐡 stellerarts.com/pages/spectr...

I love space so much I even drink space cider 🤓. 2 Towns Cider sent me their newest Cosmic Crisp variety to try! Fridays are for pizza & cider. I’ll be cracking one open & enjoying some video games tonight.

I kept my print drop open for 10 days this time to give more people a chance. 5-7 days felt too short. Thanks so much for your patience while I post about it! I get anxious about being too sales-y even though it’s my income lol. My next multi-spectral paintings will be JWST related 🤩

Only 2 days left to get a print of Spectrum of Stardust! They are truly beautiful in person. You can see all the little details of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant 🤩 stellerarts.com/pages/spectr...

I am sitting in the darkness watching lightning. I am happy! 🌩️

art reveal, but make it silly 🐉

Felt like painting another bird. Birds are nice.

The official number of exoplanets has surpassed 6,000! And you can access data on all 6,007 of them right here at IPAC 📈 🪐 Watch the video & read all about the center of the exoplanet universe (also known as NExScI!) here: www.ipac.caltech.edu/news/the-nas...

Packing her up today 🥲. Spectrum of Chaos is going to a lovely collector in Germany. If you’d like a print, there are still some available until Saturday!

Groundbreaking new image! The EHT reveals the dynamic environment around black hole M87*. The 2021 image shows a distinct shift in polarization patterns, tracing changes in magnetic fields near the event horizon. eventhorizontelescope.org/new-eht-imag...

Doing a base layer in acrylics first to map everything out, then I’ll switch to oils

Prints are starting to arrive! I am so grateful people choose something I created to hang in their homes. I did not think I would ever sell my art. And here we are. Thank you 🥹

🎶 it’s Andromeda season 🎶 Just a 30 min bit but so wonderful, our next door neighbor and its little satellite friends 🥹 🔭

Sorry for more Jupiter art lol, but I’m am repainting my largest piece in a mini version to submit to a local art gallery. The theme is small art, and it will be my first time submitting to a gallery 😅

friendly reminder only 5 days left to grab a print of Spectrum of Stardust! stellerarts.com/pages/spectr...

Most of my paintings are related to space, but I’m a huge bird nerd. I occasionally paint birds! Feels like I might need to do a series of fancy pigeons strutting against a bright background 🤔

I painted the runway pigeon

one week left to grab a print! 🔭

yes, I am in my 30s & I went to a Pokemon card show today

Just picked up this painting from being photographed for prints! I feel so ahead of schedule, this is an amazing feeling. Normally, I update my shop every ~3 months. My art takes time. I’m getting better and faster without sacrificing all those details I love 🤩

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

no way did it finally storm while I was at the movies, so I missed it 😭

The original sold in less than a minute 🤯 but prints are now available for 10 days! Spectrum of Chaos is a painting of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. stellerarts.com/pages/spectr...

Prints available to everyone in 4 hours! The large size is over half gone 🤯

btw extra special thank you to everyone who is grabbing prints during early access too! I did not forget about you & greatly appreciate it! I had to sit down and eat my lunch at 3pm oops. The shop will open tomorrow for everyone at 2pm PT.

Everyone writing about Perseverance today should be asking how many of the scientists and engineers who were involved in this discovery no longer work for NASA bc of Trump.

Sent out emails for my art update then logged on socials to see a shit show. Such violence contrasted with a possible ancient biosignature on Mars. Overwhelming. I just want to throw some more positivity out there. My painting sold in less than a minute 😭

Print launch day I’m nervous 😅

I don’t like sharing my reference next to my painting because I’ve finally learned to create ✨art✨ & not just try to copy something exactly, but sometimes it’s not obvious what I’m painting. So here’s my painting of Cassiopeia A (left) and my reference (right) 😊

HST two-color view of NGC 1068. Proposal 17165 / @astronomisty.bsky.social archive.stsci.edu/proposal_sea... Some more info, plus links to all the other processing I've done of this galaxy. flic.kr/p/2rsj7rm

Commence varnishing! I use a thin layer of gloss varnish on these darker paintings. It really saturates the colors nicely! After I’m done, I’ll flip a box over it to protect from dust while it dries.

I spent months painting the guts of a massive star that exploded. Do you want to display the space guts in your own home? You’re in luck! Prints drop next week, Sept. 10th stellerarts.myflodesk.com/subscribe

A bit of #Jupiter (NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI / MSSS / Joaquin Camarena)

My style of space art is very much trust me bro this will eventually be a nebula 😆. This is the first layer where I block out colors.

After nearly a decade of saying which JWST result I was most excited about, it's here: JWST SPECTRA OF THE HABITABLE TRAPPIST-1 PLANETS! TRAPPIST-1 E!!! IT'S ... A FLAT LINE! BUT NOT AS FLAT AS IT COULD BE!? IS THERE AN ATMOSPHERE?!?!? WE STILL DON'T KNOWWWWW. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/s...

Um… LEGO just teased a Star Trek set (!), so friendly (definitely unrelated) reminder that I’ll have prints in my shop this Wednesday 😆 stellerarts.com/pages/spectr...

The worst part of not getting any storms is that the clouds tease me all day then laugh as they float on by

tonight's sunset was BANGIN'

You all are fantastic. Just one piece left from the restock 🗡️ amyraehill.shop/collections/...

😲 Every patch of this image is a showstopper. 🤩 Every crop a beauty in and of itself. ICYMI, the NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope captured this glittering glimpse of starbirth in the core of the nearby Lobster Nebula. 🔭 🧪

update: after waiting for an hour, I was able to get my vaccine in AZ! NP at the MinuteClinic confirmed I was high risk. Didn’t ask for a prescription. I didn’t question it lol

Fired version of the commission prize for K'Andra, who won the @blackinastro.bsky.social Art Contest! ✨

Was finally able to schedule my covid vaccine for tomorrow at a CVS. If I get there and they tell me I need a prescription, I’m just going to be like “look, I am a space doctor & I approve of this vaccine. Give it to me”. If that doesn’t work, maybe I can grab one & run.

Restock this Saturday! Mostly cups and mugs so if you need a drinking vessel or something to put your pens in that takes you to another world, check it out 🌝 Listing previews: amyraehill.com #sciart #bsnm

wowowow wake up nerds, new JWST image! This gorgeous image is of the star cluster Pismis 24. It’s approximately 5500 light years away and is home to some of the most massive stars known—66 and 74 solar masses. 📸: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI; A. Pagan

Big news, I'm making things out of clay! Some pendants for my upcoming collaboration with @sciencesocks.bsky.social ✨ Join our newsletter to be notified when we launch! sciencesocks.co/pages/amy-ra... #sciart #bsnm
