Thank you so much, it is! And there is a whole study about it these days and lots of research about it, the latest big was if we should include dna or not out of safety, but if you are curious you should check interstellar foundation for example, their whole purpose is to answer those questions

My art is going to the moon! Feels a bit weird to be celebrating when the world feels on fire, but as many of you, as people that look up to the moon to find comfort, knowing thah a piece of me will be there, brings me joy today #sciart #moon #art

Image of the disk carrying the nanofiches of astrobotics and the lunar codex among them. Text says My art is going to the moon, underneath Lunar codex Polaris, Griffin-1 mission, Lunar south pole

Image of a golden engraved nanofiche on the tip of a finger, being the nanofiche same size. Text says, The lunar codex is a series of time capsules archiving art, literature, and cultural data from around the world. Etched on nanofiche, they are launched into space and stored in craters of the moon. It includes work from 262 countries and territories, making it the most extensive cultural record ever sent to the Moon. The project aims to preserve humanity's creative legacy against Earth- bound risks. A time capsule for future generations

Thank you so much for remembering me though!

KateGraphics @kategraphics.bsky.social · Aug 31

Omg no! But I love this so much, also that two women separated by so many years found inspiration in almost the same thing, maybe I should give it a go and be the third woman 😭❤️ this is so precious

Thats a super cool rock collection! Mine is really small, I lost all my rocks in the moving of my previous apartment, but they live with an orrery, some fossils, and a meteorite! #geology #rocks

KateGraphics @kategraphics.bsky.social · Aug 28

Honestly what do you mean that I have to present in the meeting after the Phd in astrophysics?! That was a very nice research on neutron stars and gravitational waves Mark, anyway, here you can see my drawing of a tardigrade wearing an astronaut helmet, it will be good for engagement #sciart

A few months ago @juangallego.bsky.social sent me Ramon y Cajal drawings and I suddenly got obssesed with #neurons synapses and glial cells.
Hope you like it!

#scicomm #scientificillustration #sciart

Poster of a glowing green and teal neuron with a central cell body, dendrites, and a myelinated axon. Surrounding glial cells and abstract neurotransmitter shapes appear in the background. A hexagon inset shows a synapse releasing neurotransmitters. Some background textures are inspired by Ramón y Cajal’s classic neuron drawings. At the bottom, text reads: “NEURON, The mysterious butterflies of the soul,” a quote by Ramón y Cajal.

This seems like a good idea, neutron stars should get way more hype, so I want to add my two cents, but I will def be having pasta bolognesa too #NeutronStarWeek #Sciart

Binary star poster, minimalist, futuristic, art deco, also shows the elements formed after the merging of two neutron stars

A bunch of embroidered patches. They were made in felt fabric.
They are two pairs of tree hoppers, adult and baby stages.

I was trying to go accurate at first, but I liked adding cute patterns to them later whoops

A bunch of polymer clay pins in a black background.
This pins are coated in resin so they can be cleaned easily.

There are caterpillars, leaf bugs, a stag beetle and a weevil

More embroidered patches.
These are a pair of a yellow leaf bugs and another tree hoppers, the tree hoppers have a cherry blossom pattern

A scale pic of an arapaima polymer clay pin, Space marines also for scale lol

May's temperatures (at last). Another warm month - warmer than the last two years as you can see from the orange colours, though chillier nights (more purple) - I'm guessing that's because of the clear skies and lack of rain. #temperatureembroidery

Centipedes are highly misunderstood creatures, so I’m really happy to hear multiple requests on drawing those beautiful danger noodles (leggy version)! Their “fangs” are actually a pair of modified legs, and those curly antennae are my favorite parts

Yay! Thanks to Laura Tran for interviewing me about my unusual career on The Scientist - I think "Don’t wait for permission. If you love it, keep at it." perfectly summarizes all the 'advice' I have to give 😅

Love to see the new posters in their new homes 💙🌌 makes my day every time

Michael Haslam @twigtechnology.bsky.social · May 22

My new space print from @kategraphics.bsky.social arrived! It’s even more spectacular and arresting up close.

If this is your kind of thing I heartily recommend having a look at her shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Kate... 🧪🔭✨

An art deco stylised print of stars rising up and a black hole above, in shades of green on a black background. The print is hanging from a metal hook on my wall.
