495-milky-way-rising-dixon – Milky Way Rising over an extragalactic planet; A dramatic fine art painting depicting a massive spiral galaxy, representing the Milky Way, dominating the night sky from a low-angle planetary perspective. The glowing core and sweeping, textured dust lanes of the galactic arms fill the upper atmosphere with brilliant white, gold, and deep blue starlight. Below, a serene, illuminated body of water reflects the celestial glow, bordered by a dark shoreline featuring the silhouettes of gnarled, moss-draped trees. Originally Spacescapes Number 60, this early gouache on illustration board painting shows our galaxy in the sky of an alien world high above the galactic pole; 1974 by Don Dixon.
