#ScienceFiction is informed by #Science

And Science in turn stares at Science Fiction, nods, and smiles broadly

"On ‘ #StarWarsDay’, researchers more than double the number of potential known ‘circumbinary’ planets like the fictional Tatooine, home to Luke Skywalker"

A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two suns

More than half of all stars exist in binary star systems or star systems with even more than two stars

Scientists discover 27 potential new planets that orbit two stars in solar systems far, far away

ARMAGEDDON (1978)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 20” x 30”

Even after all humankind has been wiped out, mechanized engines of destruction continue to eradicate the last traces of civilization. 1/2

#sciencefiction #illustration #harryharrison #simonandschuster

Looming low in a rusty sky, a craggy moon straddles the horizon. With engines burning green, ships shaped like manta rays sweep over a devastated battlefield. A robot, as seen from behind, stands tall over the husks of futuristic tanks. The fin on its head defines its line of sight right as it follows the airships. Its muzzle, reminiscent of a llama, is set on a long broad neck with square serrations projecting from the sides and back. Its broad shoulders and long torso rests on a tripod of squat legs, each set on an independent motorized tread. The sinuous fingers of one hand grip a blaster pistol, while an additional pairs of arms project from its waist with similar tendril-like digits.

Vampirella no. 56 (1976)

Is that guy coming to save the day with his syringe? I fear not, I think he's on the side of the monster guys.

The precise location where that left-hand guy is biting her is somehow making me cringe whereas biting her neck doesn't bother me at all. I can almost feel it!
