260-uranus-from-miranda-dixon – This panoramic astronomical painting showcases the pale blue globe of Uranus rising above the heavily cratered, fractured terrain of its moon Miranda. The planet's surface features subtle atmospheric banding and wispy clouds, with a single, razor-thin vertical ring cutting directly across its disc. The foreground highlights a classic hand-painted texture depicting Miranda’s chaotic geology. - acrylic painting by Don Dixon for the Orange County Register
