  1. It’s really striking that everyone who has ever been to space tries to hammer home the message that, viewed from out there, we’re all one thing, one people, on a single fragile orb that’s our only home in all the void. They’re desperately trying to get us to understand it, and to act like it. That’s an Easter message I can get behind.

  3. 🌌 Far beyond the last bright planet, the solar system softens into an inferred halo where icy bodies drift in deep quiet. Long-period comets arrive like messages from that distant frontier, written in motion rather than light.

    🌠 Some frontiers reveal themselves through patience and wonder.

  4. 🌌 The stars your ancestors saw no longer exist in those positions. Earth has completed 20 galactic orbits since its birth, each taking ~230 million years through entirely different cosmic neighborhoods.

  5. Heliosphere
    Oil, 18 x 24 in, 2015

    Cosmic rays are a deadly form of radiation originating outside our solar system. Without protection from these dangerous high-energy particles, life may not be possible, but the heliosphere surrounds and protects us from most of this onslaught.

  6. Neptune
    Oil, 8 x 6 inches
    On EveryDayOriginal.com tomorrow!

    In the 1840s, when the orbits of the known planets were calculated to test Newton's laws of gravity it was found that observations of Uranus weren’t quite lining up with expectation. Mathematicians realized that the movements could be explained by the presence of another, as yet unknown planet. They predicted where this planet would have to be based on Uranus’s orbit and that is where Neptune was found.

  7. Detail image of a new painting from an earlier study that I'll be taking with me to the IX Art Show next week in Reading, PA! Come check it out, it's an amazing collection of art!

  8. Cosmic Perspective is using the insights of modern science to see the big picture of the world and our place in it with a sense of belonging and connection. It’s understanding our scale within the universe - being humbled by a grand and awe-inspiring expanse of space and deep time. But it’s also seeing the very small with a sense of wonder for the staggering complexity of biology, chemistry, and quantum mechanics.

  9. Nebular Nook
    24x16 in, Oil, 2021

    A new star stretches out their solar wind in the nebulous dust of deceased giants. In just a few million years, their charge particles will carve out a bubble like nest for themselves in the dust while a family of planets likely form, enriched with elements created by the previous star and ready for the complex chemistry of life to begin.

  10. Dance
    24 x 30 in, Oil, 2016

    The dance of galaxies is at once both fast, slow, and ever so graceful. It’s gravitational choreography challenges our every day concept of time. While our solar system races with a speed of 220 km/s (490,000 mph) in orbit around the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way is so vast that it still takes 240 million years to complete one orbit - far longer than humans have existed.

  11. Pluto Unveiled
    16 x 12 inches, oil on panel, 2015

    In 2015 the New Horizons spacecraft gave humanity it's first detailed glimpse of Pluto and it's moon, Charon. It takes light 4.6 hours to reach Pluto from Earth. At speeds up to 84,000 km/h, it took New Horizons almost ten years to reach it's destination, allowing the face of the dwarf planet to become known to humans for the first time in history!

  12. Flow
    6 x 8 in, Oil on Yupo, 2021

    "If I could label each of my atoms at this moment ... some will undoubtedly become parts of other people, particular people. So, we are literally connected to the stars, and we are literally connected to future generations of people. In this way, even in a material universe, we are connected to all things future and past."
    -Alan Lightman

  13. INCREDIBLE footage of Starship launching from the folks at Cosmic Perspective. What is so interesting about this shot in particular is how clear the shock-waves bouncing off of the pad and how powerfully they are affecting the surrounding smoke plume. I highly recommend listening to this through headphones or the highest quality speakers you've got as the audio capture is also excellent.
