Greetings all, and I hope that the first complete rotation of our planet in this new year has been kind.

Here's an animation of the planet Mars rising above its innermost moon, Phobos, as the latter rotates.

'United States Of Beauty'

This is the view from ISS as it orbits Earth above USA & Canada. In reality the journey from California to Quebec took 11 minutes to traverse, this 4K UHD film slows that speed by a factor of 4.

After a 2-year hiatus, I finally posted on Medium again (and after like 4 months off Bluesky, hello again!).

My goal for 2026 is to write more, and this felt like a good impetus to restart the blog and also explain where my head was at during my time away:

Greetings, all!

Here's an animation depicting NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan. With all of the NASA cuts going on in Trumpistan, is this still going ahead? Would be a massive shame if not.

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!
