078-sagittarius-dixon – This illustration depicts a wide cosmic vista focused on a dense, reddish-brown band of the Milky Way star clouds towards the Sagittarius constellation, rich with clusters and dark nebulae. In the foreground, a heavily cratered, airless moon hangs on the lower right, balancing a bright blue, cloud-covered Earth. The background is speckled with fine field stars, framing the two planetary bodies within the vast expanse of the galactic core region. ; acrylic on illustration board, Don Dixon 1976
