The Nebula Set
The Project
Space tourism is still a long ways off, but it’s not hard to imagine that someday, tourists will visit the natural geological landmarks of other worlds much like they tour the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest or Ayers Rock.
Each of these great tourist destinations needs a classic retro travel poster to entice visitors.
Until the day people settle off world and make their own destinations many of these may be the places that people will want to travel too.
I hope that these posters can inspire people to think beyond our world to the limitless possibilities of the Universe.
The Hourglass
The Engraved Hourglass Nebula is a young planetary nebula in the southern constellation Musca about 8,000 light-years from Earth.
It is conjectured that the hourglass shape is produced by the expansion of a fast stellar wind within a slowly expanding cloud which is denser near its equator than its poles.
The vivid colours given off by the nebula are the result of different 'shells' of elements being expelled from the dying star, in this case helium, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon.

Inedible work! I like things like this that leave room for the viewer's integration and imagination.
