Joshua Tree 2007 (or It's Full of Stars)
First, I’d like to say I am a big fan of your blog. I’ve always been fascinated with space…and as an “artist”, one of my central themes has been…space (though usually within the context of the Space Race and Cold War era propaganda and advertising) Anyway, I thought I’d share this painting I made, hope you enjoy.

chadwithuhc asked: i was recently talking with a friend and they claim our solar system is neither expanding or contracting because of the way the planets formed in orbit around the sun? i may not be quoting that exact, but i'd like to know if they are right and how is it possible that the rest of the universe is expanding and we are not? i can't imagine how anything could be staying in the same place...

Thanks for the submission, nickylim!
I love snooping around the moon from time to time, Google Mars and Google Sky are awesome as well. All those maps are available in the Google Earth app.

Hidden Universe
Some of these are a couple years old, so maybe you’ve posted about them before. But these images and informative videos are absolutely beautiful. They’re infrared images from the Spitzer Space Telescope at the California Institute of Technology.
