132-galactic-core_2-dixon – globular clusters blaze in the sky of a planet near the center of our galaxy ; This astronomical illustration depicts a dynamic proto-galaxy characterized by a brilliant white central core that radiates intense light into an evolving spiral disk. The primary galactic structure is surrounded by countless spherical star clusters and smaller satellite systems condensing within vast, deep blue interstellar gas clouds. The entire cosmic panorama is framed from a low-angle perspective across the jagged, craggy mountain ridges of a cold, airless planetary surface in the foreground. acrylic and gouache, 1982
