In my previous posts, I've linked to some hypothetical exo-lifeforms as imagined by artists with an inclination to science, or scientist inclined to the arts. As shown in
Snaiad and
Expedition, those works of art--speculative as they may be--provide a glimpse of what could thrive on other planets. This time, I will take you to these
worlds as imagined by an astronomer.
Meet
Dan Durda, a planetary scientist who paints distant worlds in his spare time while not doing daredevil acts like
flying jetplanes or
diving in underwater caves. Thus, what he comes up with are absolutely breath-taking
worlds.
