201-nemesis-dixon- a starship orbits a world of Barnard's star, This high-fidelity astronomical illustration showcases a complex orbital view of an Earth-like planet with a sweeping, detailed atmosphere of swirling cloud layers caught in low-angle sunlight. In the foreground, a highly detailed modular spacecraft with a spherical command hull, trusses, and radiator panels travels in a low parking orbit. On the horizon, a massive, turbulent red dwarf star eclipses a dark companion world, casting an intense orange glow across the limb of the primary planet's atmospheric boundary and highlighting dense background nebulae in deep space. cover for the Isaac Asimov novel, acrylic and gouache, 1989
