“Life on Mars - Cave Colonies” by scientific illustrator and IAAA member, Adrianna Allen. It graced the back cover of a Planetary Society “Planetary Report” in 2019. It shows an astronaut descending into a Martian cavern (brightened to make it read better on a phone screen). 🔭 #spaceart

The cold air on #Titan is thick, about 1.5x as dense as on Earth. You could not breathe but If you strapped wings to your arms, you could fly on this −180 ºC hazy moon. NASA is planning to fly an 8-blade rotorcraft on Titan: the #Dragonfly mission.. 🔭 #space #astronomy
