Impressionists of exo solar planets

 

 

 

There are a number of excellent alien world builder  software programs such as arc world builder and Celestia   with libraries of world  parts  and  suns  from A to  M  and i have used  many but on the whole  they are Avatar clone apps or simply  build a fractal  earth and oceans  and you just add  two suns for a desert  world build a  wookie  crashing Pandora forest planet   or make it snow  for the  hothy  ice planets -  good as they are  the arc builder software  is one  owes more to Bonestell  gaseous    eruptions  of the 1950s  than  to Paul's pulp  life on other planet  illustrations  of the 1920s

 

I decided to make more impressionist  exo solar planets  using a combination of  chunky world builder and  freeware photo  manipulation  app   tools

 

 my visions of other worlds  a selection  of   extra solar planets seen at sunrise

 

 

 

Delta Pavonis  18.6 light years  star G6  the start of the early morning shift

 

 

 

 

 

Epsilon  Eridani  10.7 light years  star K2 an ocean   with divers

 

 

Epsilon Indi   11,2 light years  star  K6  view of a  desert  storm on planet  with  45 degree tilt to star

 

 

 

I  am making a slow recovery with  my abdominal surgical scar now only 20cm wide

 

 my latest poem "Rockette"  is on the theme of  woman in space  as seen in  1930s -1950s sci- fi  pulp covers  being the reality for the space age

   still fragmentary   with emphasis on  the   innuendo  of an all male crew on a long mission

 and that  in the 1950s " women too served in those days  as   deputy  assistant  unaccredited white scientist or  part qualified  probationary junior space pilot"
