Welcome to BlueSky! I’m Kevin, a software and spaceflight operations engineer at NASA/JPL.

I’m also an expert in planetary image processing and have worked with a number of missions both professionally and as citizen science.

I’ll share space imagery and art as I process it!

I don’t usually like AI imagery but this Google Gemini attempt at showing the Siberian Traps is actually pretty good. Not sure how accurate, but still neat to look at. 🌋

Found some nice views of tafoni in rocks up on the Maine coast that I took in 2014.

A beautiful closeup of a rock taken by the Mars Perseverance Rover using the WATSON camera this weekend on Sol 1644. The first image is under sunlight and the second is at night and under white LEDs.

Zoom in a check out those mineral grains!

This is a lightning bolt in a storm.

On Jupiter.
A view from above of a large cyclonic storm that is mainly a grey colour, set against a swirling backdrop of more bluish smaller storms. At the 12 o'clock position in the large storm is a small point of green light, which is a lightning bolt. This scene is on Jupiter.
