For the #Spacetober prompt future, my speculative little painting of a future where tourists can visit Venus. With 90 times Earth’s atmospheric pressure & a surface temperature which can reach 460°C & melt lead, high altitude balloons have been proposed as perhaps the only likely human habitat on Venus. Short term high altitude balloons with instruments have been used to gather data there…. Who knows? Maybe one day they will house people.

For the #Spacetober prompt lift-off: it’s my portrait of #mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918-2020). One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics and played a pivotal role in the success of the US crewed spaceflights from the beginning. 🧵1/n

For the #Spacetober prompt aeronautics: Mary Golda Ross (1908-2008), known as Gold to her family, was a mathematician, aeronautical engineer, philanthropist & Cherokee “hidden figure” of the space race. Great-great-granddaughter of Chief John Ross, who was forced to lead his people on the Trail of Tears, Ross attributed her success in math to the Cherokee tradition of encouraging equal education for boys and girls.

Happy birthday to #mathematician & geodesist Gladys West (née Brown in 1930)! Shown with satellite tracks & 3 satellites important to her career: Seasat, GEOS-3 & a GPS satellite. Her work, using math to precisely model the shape of Earth, laid the groundwork for GPS! Born to sharecropper parents in Virginia, she graduated with a Math BSc in ‘52 then MSc at VSU in ‘55. 🧵1/n

I have several prints about today’s #Spacetober prompt Aurora but I thought I would share STEVE.
This is a hand-carved, hand-printed linocut print of a forest with night sky with the atmospheric optical phenomenon called STEVE: Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, a column of shining purple light which is often associated with a green ribbon “picket-fence” aurora or northern lights, as shown. 🧵1/n

For the #Spacetober prompt Robotic Explorer I brought back a new edition of my little linocut Opportunity the Martian Rover. Launched July 8, 2003, Opportunity (Oppie to his fans) was active on Mars from 2004 through 2018, looking at Martian geology to evaluate whether Mars has the potential to support life. 🧵1/2

For the #Spacetober prompt Carl Sagan: the famous Arecibo message, an interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth that was sent to the globular cluster Messier 13 in 1974 alongside a view of space with stars & nebulae.

The #Spacetober prompt is Artemis today so I have made a digital collage of my Earth and Moon from previous prints to show the trajectory of Artemis I, the uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission that was launched in November 2022 and marked the beginning of NASA’s Artemis program, the agency’s first return to lunar exploration since the Apollo program (which ended before I was born).

Today’s #Spacetober prompt is Earth. My ‘Turtles, all the way down’ I made for a show about cosmology, or the astrophysics of the origins of our Universe. There’s a well-known anecdote, and metaphor for the problem of infinite regress. There are many versions of the anecdote. It appears, famously, in Stephen Hawking’s ‘A Brief History of Time’ amongst other sources. 🧵1/n

For the #Spacetober prompt history: my #linocut portrait of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) & his model of the celestial spheres, or as we would say, the solar system. Copernicus is shown in green with a lily of the valley, the standard Renaissance symbol to indicate a medical doctor, since like most proto-scientists, or ‘philosophers’ (doctors of philosophy) he learned his astronomy incidentally,🧵

For the #Spacetober prompt orbit: my portrait of #mathematician and #astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)! We remember him for his role in the Scientific Revolution, and his three laws of planetary motion in particular. His laws modified Copernicus’ heliocentric model; he replaced the circular orbits with elliptical ones & described velocities of planets. Today we know them as:

For the #Spacetober day 15 prompt celestial event: the Transit of Venus.
Much like a solar eclipse, when our moon's orbit brings it between the Earth and sun, the transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the sun and us (or any other planet) partially obscuring or occulting the disk of the sun. Venus is much larger than our moon, 🧵1/n

For #Spacetober prompt telescope: #astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell as a grad student in ‘67 discovered the 1st radio pulsar, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of EM radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us; like the light from a lighthouse, it appears to pulse at a precise frequency. She had been working with her supervisor Hewish & others to construct a radio telescope to study quasars.🧵1/n

For the #Spacetober day 11 prompt wavelength: my #linocut of trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941) with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵1/n

The #Spacetober prompt is “Europa Clipper” a space probe scheduled for launch today with the goal of investigating habitability and selecting landing sites on Europa. “Take the Europa Express, your passport to the Galilean Moons!” My linocut is a space travel poster for a future where we all share the citizenship of Earth and can take rapid transport to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, 🧵1/2

Working on a new print for #Spacetober - got out my old used bookstore copy of ‘Murmurs of Earth’ by Carl Sagan, about the Voyager Interstellar Record and more to think about the upcoming “Carl Sagan/Cosmos” prompt.

A throwback for the 4th prompt of #Spacetober: Milky Way. The galactic centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way lies in the direction of Sagittarius where it appears brightest in the sky.
The full galactic plane is inclined about 60° to the ecliptic (the dashed line in my print representing the plane of the Earth’s orbit) and stretches across 30 constellations in our sky. 🧵1/2
