058-supernova-dixon –a planet melts in the blazing radiance of a supernova explosion ; This illustration depicts a massive, energetic supernova explosion blazing violently in a star-filled sky. Below the cosmic detonation, the scorched surface of an alien world is shown covered in churning, molten lava domes and a highly excited, glowing orange atmosphere. The radiant energy from the cataclysmic stellar death brightly illuminates the planetary horizon, casting a harsh light over the searing landscape. gouache on illustration board, 1976
