Me standing behind a 5x4ft painting of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light
People have been asking me for a print of my multi-spectral Jupiter FOR YEARS. Unfortunately, I could not transport the giant painting at the time & am emotionally attached to it remaining in my sight.
BUT THEN I painted a little version. It’s even better! Spectrum of Storms coming in 2 weeks ☁️

After "The Obsolete Man"
A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side.
#NASAWebb’s new view of the famous Helix Nebula zooms into a section of the shells of gas cast off by a dying star, revealing pillars that look like comets with extended tails: https://news.stsci.edu/4qPKTsL
