Lucy West is an artist who loves space. Her father worked for a company that built parts for the Gemini and Apollo missions, so space was on the family agenda. This gorgeous painting is called "Celestial Northwest". Some of her works are on the walls of NASA's Launch Control Center. I'd love to have one on my wall!

Nancy, thank you for telling me about the link. It loads for me, but I think I've had problems before with the site. I've looked for the picture on a different website and hope that Celestial Northwest shows up now.

I have to admit this right off: this isn't a painting. It's a natural-color Sentinel-2A satellite image of a plankton bloom in the Barents Sea. (It's off the northern coast of Russian and Norway.)

Plankton are microscopic marine plants that are the basis of most food chains in the oceans. They're essential to marine life, but some species in large numbers and in good conditions can multiply so much that they exhaust the oxygen in the water and suffocate the larger fish.

Irish artist Aoife van Linden Tol has been named artist-in-residence of a project being undertaken by Ars Electronica and the European Space Agency (ESA), the first person ever to take on this key role.

You can read more about the project here. Slightly worrying, the artist's fascination with explosives. Whatever happened to paint, I wonder.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has created a delightful series of retro-style travel posters to destinations in the Solar System and beyond. Here is Ceres Queen of the Asteroid Belt.
