Space Travel Posters

These illustrations are part of a series that I have been working on, borrowing heavily from the art-deco-style travel posters from the middle of the twentieth century. Done in Photoshop.

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and the only known natural satellite with a substantial atmosphere. Lakes of hydrocarbons have been detected on the surface. Their principle component (75%) is ethane, but methane (10%), propane, hydrogen cyanide and b

Triton is the largest moon of the gas giant Neptune. It is famous for its odd terrain (e.g. the Cantaloupe terrain) and its cryonic geysers. This faux travel poster presents snowboarding on Triton as a tourist attraction in art deco style.

Miranda is the smallest of the five principal moons of Uranus. It is famous for its cliff, Verona Rupes, though to be the tallest cliff in the known Solar System. Here, Miranda - and Verona Rupes in particular – is advertised as a faux travel poster in ar

Astronomers have found something intriguing orbiting the sunlike star 1SWASP J1407, 420 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. This object appears to be a vast ring system. At 120 million km across it is more than 200 times wider than the rin

Amalthea is a moon of Jupiter, the third closest to the planet at 181,365 km away (about 2.6 Jupiter radii from the centre of the planet). At just 250 km across at its widest  point – its shape is not spherical - Amalthea is small, likely a captured aster

Artwork of exoplanet 55 Cancri f seen from one of its moons. 55 Cancri is a binary star system located 41 light-years away, made up of a sun-like (G-type) star and a much smaller and dimmer red dwarf. The two stars are extremely widely separated, however,
