Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity.

Please repost! Spread the love!

Titan Seas Reflect Sunlight
Saturn's moon Titan has numerous smooth lakes of methane that, when the angle is right, reflect sunlight as if they were mirrors.

If we ever do colonise Mars, robots will likely come with us. Structures like those here are unlikely to be permanent habitats, as they are exposed to radiation due to Mars planet lacking a magnetic field. In the longer term, underground facilities provide better shielding.

@bsky.app Why oh why is it that when I look at videos in the app, enlarge them and then rotate my phone to see them full screen, they immediately stop playing and disappear? For as long as I've been using it. Fix please.

Updated Uranus flyby, all by me, no AI

Still needs a bit more work. I like the way the rings naturally become visible, but the relative brightness of the rings needs fixing.
I'm happy with the level of subtle detail on Uranus, but I need to desaturate the colours a bit.

I've been working on an animation of a space hotel now for a couple of years on and off. I've already posted a few renders, but here are some new shots of the interior of one of the rooms.

This is ART not a serious design. There wouldn't be big windows (if any).

As robots become more and more lifelike and sophisticated, and more and more intelligent, might humans one day form romantic relationships with them?

You too could have your photo taken on Mars by a robot!

Definitely one day. 😎

Well, probably one day. 😀

Well, maybe. 😐

Perhaps. ☹️

(I doubt it.) 😫

Moon sizes massively exaggerated, before some geek pulls me up on it!

Animation of ice plumes erupting from Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn. Enceladus is an icy moon. In its south polar region, huge jets of water ice particles erupt into space from ridges in its icy crust.

I do also fully believe my Dad had a hand in all of this, I didn't know the name of the piece until after I'd secured it.

Spirit of the Stars.

He always told me lost loved ones were the brightest stars in the night sky, and I talk to him in the stars.🥹

Animated 3D map of the closest stars to our Solar System (centre). The Earth's equatorial plane is the horizontal plane, and the blue shells mark five light-years, with the outermost shell being 20 light-years from the Sun.

Hi, folks. Here's an old but favourite animation I did in 2013 depicting the Earth-Moon system in infancy. This is shortly after a Mars-sized body ('Theia') hit the proto-Earth. The Earth reformed, and the Moon coalesced out of the rest of the debris.

#Blender animation depicting Mars 4100-3700 million years ago. The period is characterised by high rates of meteorite impacts, volcanism and possibly abundant surface water — however, the water is thought to have been localized rather than spanning the planet in oceans, as on Earth.

The 30 July 2026 Astronomy Picture of the Day featured a remarkable shot of the Sun photographed through a wildfire smoke-filled sky that turned the star a deep red.

So I tweaked it to look like we're orbiting an M-class red dwarf star with a close-in system of rocky planets, like TRAPPIST-1.

Talented young lady.
Adding the Cosmic Dust really made this piece pop! Our next door neighbour with its own little bit of genuine space. I am so grateful for this commission, I'd been wanting to repaint Andromeda, so what a way to do it!

What do we think?!

Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫
