unsinkable Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Neat. Although, Jupiter and Saturn were a bit startling. I get creeped out by big things, statues, really tall buildings, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Pluto. Where's Pluto? It's still the ninth planet in our system as far as I'm concerned.... Neat pics ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Wow, that Jupiter pic is very surreal! And a bit creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbeym Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Very cool. Jupiter and Saturn were kind of creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Whew! I am absurdly glad to know that I wasn't the only creeped out by some of the pics. There was a movie once that showed two suns and it made me shudder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Very cool pics. If Saturn, or Uranus or Jupiter were really that close to us, wouldn't our nights be really bright from all the reflected light from the sun? The moon can be really bright at times, wouldn't the planets be super bright at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 And I just realized that article referenced Chesley Bonestell who was a very well know science fiction artist. I have a book on the California missions, which was illustrated by him, and the paintings are awesome. I think it's the one non-science-fiction thing he illustrated.
