🌌 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.

Never forget: You carry the universe’s history in your cells. Atoms once born in ancient stars, scattered across space and gathered on Earth with hydrogen from the Big Bang. Your body holds the story of stars. ✨

This practice is not about ignoring responsibilities, but about choosing a response based on wisdom and tranquility rather than frantic reaction. Give 'The View from Above' a try next time the world feels like too much, and see if it does not offer a much-needed breath of cosmic air.

Reaching Europa
18 x 24 inches, Oil, 2015

"The nature of life on earth and the quest for life elsewhere are the two sides of the same question: the search for who we are.”
-Carl Sagan

An allegory of our scientific aspirations to explore Jupiter's moon, Europa. As the video below from NASA explains, Europa holds intriguing possibilites for finding life beyond Earth.

The Eternal Companion, Once Again (11/24)

MC 3M-5CA 500mmf8 @ APS-C = 800mm
tripot
Canon R100 APS-C
80ms,f/8,ISO 100-200
single shot, color grading, slight sharpening

My best moonshot so far, in my opinion. Feedback and tips for improvement are welcome. It is damn hard to nail the focus with this lens, also with focus-peaking. There is always some kind of luck involved here. The focus lottery so to say :-)

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.

A Familiar Glow, A New Frame - II

Since the weather hasn't been favorable and my other lens hasn’t worked out so far, here's the same image as before—this time cropped to 1080x1080.

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.

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.

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.
