For the final day, 24, of #ArtAdventCalendar, I present this illustration which I call Exploration of Amalthea. The latter is a very small moon of Jupiter in a very close orbit. Jupiter would fill half the sky seen from here!

Milky Way and Andromeda enjoy a dance of death. They're moving towards each other and will begin to merge in a few billion years.
Crikey!

The cosmic web. This is what the universe looks like on very large scales. The individual galaxies are very exaggerated in size. But this serves to illustrate the filamentery nature of the cosmos.

Holy crap, just look at this photo of Mars with one of its moons, Phobos, passing by on its merry way. Taken by Mars Express.
Seriously cool.

This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus–Valles Marineris

Boy, this got lots of attention. To the dozens mentioning the potential for damage by space junk, do you not consider that if we had the ability to build this, we'd have the ability to clean up the space junk way before?
It's SF now, but this could be be built if we had the will, tech and money

Here's an animation of an orbital ring. It surrounds the Earth in a continuous loop and could serve as a platform to launch vehicles from low-Earth orbit.

The #AstronomyWeather for my local patch - results for November 2025:
Clear sky: 3 nights
Partly cloudy sky: 6 nights
Overcast sky: 21 nights
A very cloudy month. I largely missed the good aurora display we had but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Illustration of a cave on the Moon, with the Earth visible from the opening. Caves have been known there for some time. Some of them are where lava tubes have collapsed in places, revealing the interior. They would make good places for human habitats.

Another one from outside my comfort zone, and fairly recent. I find it difficult to say why I'm so pleased with it!
But I think the lighting holds the elements together well.

Mars gets pulverised and rebuilt after a collision with another worlds. Not the most accurate simulation but it gets the point across.
