The new images from NASA's spacecraft, Juno, are just stunning. They already look like paintings! For the first time, we are able to see below Jupiter's dense cover of clouds (the mission was actually named after the Roman goddess, who was Jupiter's wife, because she could also see through clouds). As an artist during this time, I feel incredibly fortunate to have these images to inspire me. Technology is cool. Just wow.
"Juno's primary goal is to reveal the story of the formation and evolution of the planet Jupiter. Using long-proven technologies on a spinning spacecraft placed in an elliptical polar orbit, Juno will observe Jupiter's gravity and magnetic fields, atmospheric dynamics and composition, and the coupling between the interior, atmosphere and magnetosphere that determines the planet's properties and drives its evolution. An understanding of the origin and evolution of Jupiter, as the archetype of giant planets, can provide the knowledge needed to help us understand the origin of our solar system and planetary systems around other stars." -nasa.gov
great work! I love astronomy and art. I'd love to learn how to paint - some day.
Thank you! You should! I highly recommend it; it's a fun challenge and can be very therapeutic!
Enjoy the vote and reward!
Thank you very much for your art. Thank you for sharing it among us
It's my pleasure! Glad you're enjoying it!
Without a doubt Your paintings are always beautiful. These paintings are not easy to do.
As far as universe is concerned. I feel like universe is a canvas and celestial body's are pieces of art work.
Thank you! I like that thought!
inspiring!!
Thanks! I'm glad!
Just finishing big commissioned oil on canvas, and it's all space. Gonna post soon. Great art, keep it up!
Thank you! Awesome! I'm looking forward to it!! I'm sure it's gonna be great. I've been obsessed with painting space lately. I finished up a whole series in September: "Perspectives."
love the story behind the paintings
