Common Themes

Two sets from China: the first features space exploration in general, the second features meteorite showers. Lovely colors on both.

Another Etsy find, this mini tabletop copper rocket launches playfully from a golden sun. Affordable, inspiring whimsy for your desk!

For the past few months, Tor.com (publisher of fine fantasy and science fiction books) has been promoting their upcoming website redesign by releasing weekly FREE e-books by their authors, and FREE wallpapers featuring art both old and new. (Sizes range from iPhone to enormo-vision!)

This wallpaper is no longer available, so here’s a zip file of all sizes for your downloading pleasure (3.64 Mb).

About the artwork:

Jeff Jones’ cover art for Amazing Science Fiction magazine, September 1970. See more from this artist at http://www.ulster.net/~jonesart

This is a bit of a stretch, I admit. If my readership drops over this post, I will consider myself duly punished….

A rather strange Etsy find, this crystal really does (to me) look a bit like a space shuttle. Even in nature, spacey things can be found?

Another set of Space Shuttle Columbia stamps, this time from Mongolia (above) and Madagascar (below). (Curious places for shuttle stamps to originate.) The Mongolian stamp celebrate the name-heritage of the shuttle.
