For clarification: this is what a female astronaut looks like: Helen Sharman spent 8 days on the Mir space station in 1991. The very personification of guts, dedication and a genuine commitment to space exploration. @georgetakei.bsky.social @williamshatner.bsky.social #spaceflight #space #BIS

Here’s my Art vs Artist for 2023 - an exciting year, making better art than ever, despite a lot of life preventing me from as much art-making as I would wish. I don’t know what to think about how the year went, but hopeful for clarity in 2024.

A grid of nine images, eight paintings surrounding a smiling woman’s face with blue and purple hair. Clockwise from upper left: an X-wing flying in attack configuration from the Star Wars classic trilogy with a Death Star in the distance, against a blue-purple starry sky; an ink illustration of fault zones and layering on Mars over a reddish-orange background; a rendition of asteroid Bennu trailing dust with a distant OSIRIS-REx spacecraft departing toward an even more distant Sun; an infrared view of Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope, rendered in pearlescent paints on black; an ink illustration of the SpaceX Starship being mated to the Super Heavy booster, with tiny workers in the gap showing the immense scale; a multicolored watercolor rendition of the Moon’s surface showing mineral deposits and craters; the first integrated SpaceX Starship launch with inked sonic waves; a spiral galaxy painted in pearlescent colors on black.

Voyager 2 being encapsulated in its launch vehicle fairing in 1977 rrady for launch.
Amazing, 47 years later we are still receiving signals from its 23 watt transmitter over 20 billion km away.

A watercolor painting of the Starship test launch from 4/20/23, showing the vehicle and Super Heavy booster emerging from clouds of dust and exhaust. In the background, concentric intersecting circles of dusty yellow ink surround the booster. Around the outside, thick metallic gold and copper lines frame the piece in an Art Nouveau/iconography style. In the upper corners, a space-like background of blues and purples, with lighter flecks representing stars. A black-primed square board with the Ring Nebula seen in shades of blue ringed with peach, gold, orange, red and pink, with scattered stars and eyelash-like rays in purple, bronze and pink, as seen by James Webb Space Telescope. A watercolor painting of a waterfall and river seen against multi-layered cliffs capped by dark lava plains, some overgrown by green plants. The water is icy blue and flows towards distant mountains and a cloudy evening sky seen in purples and yellows. A watercolor painting of the decaying skeletal front portion of the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the northern Oregon coast. The metal is rusting in shades of reddish-brown, which gradually shifts to shades of green and white at the bottom, where the metal structure is covered in salts, barnacles, and other crustacean growth. The skies seen through the ship’s beams are overcast and gray, and the water has a light green tint with choppy waves towards the horizon.

40 yrs ago the ESA Giotto spacecraft was launched to Halley's Comet and later became first spacecraft to flypast and image a comet nucleus.
Built in the UK, seen here being tested.
Halley's nucleus from 600km.

Amundsen crater, Scott crater and other potential sites for permanent lunar bases near the south pole. Not entirely sure about the exact location of the south pole itself, though.

NASA astronauts Kayla Barron and Chris Birch will command and pilot SpaceX Crew-14, joined by JAXA astronaut Makoto Suwa and a Roscosmos cosmonaut. The four are set to launch to the ISS no earlier than spring 2027 for a long-duration science expedition.

After 12 years ESA's GAIA spacecraft makes its last science observation today.
It has revolutionised our knowledge of the galaxy, and will continue to do so as much of its recorded data has yet to be analysed.
More highlights of this mission later..

Space Book #5
The Sands of Mars, 1951.
....At last the wail of the wind died away. The rocket had shed its surplus speed; the nose and knife-edge wings cooling from cherry-red....the ship racing across desert.....riding the radio beam into Port Lowell. - A.C.Clarke
