NASA or MOMA? Is it art or a photo from a space probe? Pretty easy to tell the difference, if you ask me. http://t.co/r2GpbRMXbm

Take a look at the rusty tops of fire hydrants and imagine they are alien planets. This is what they’d look like. http://t.co/9oJsM7NUlD

Here’s an ode to the late #scifi artist Frank Kelly Freas. I’ve always liked his work on the Laser books covers. http://t.co/zd2qVnpkCb

If you’re an Alien fan, you’ll surely dig these early storyboards drawn by Ridley Scott himself. http://t.co/SCnZvI4e

Sorry, Frazetta, not everyone likes those ‘sexist’ #scifi and fantasy book covers, although I confess I do. http://t.co/7dNXGiU4

I have a book on my shelf called “The Rivals of HG Wells”, and it features somewhat scifi-ish stories from his time by authors that at the time were more popular. The stories were all fun to read but none of them were taking the stories very seriously, they were more in the pulp genre fantastic short stories than serious novels. It’s companion book, “The Rival of Sherlock Holmes” is also a fun read.

Post it anywhere you want. As long as you post.
Are you reading SF again these days? I must say that with all my other interests in the past few years my SF reading has slowed to a crawl, but I’m still hanging in there.
My CBIP is the Niven/Pournelle “Mote in Gods Eye”. Don’t know if it me getting older but this supposedly ‘great novel’ is just so so for me. Just too many extra characters that could just as easily been left out and this could have been a more succinct and smaller book. But just past half way, perhaps I haven’t gotten to the ‘good’ stuff yet. There certainly is something more than meets the eye going on.-

I liked the complex lying that was involved the Mote, an enjoyable read, the sequel “Gripping Hand” was a total bore. For some reason of late I’ve been re-reading old novels that I keep around. Ender’s Game, Childhood’s End, Fountains of Paradise and am Currently reading a bio of Robert Llewellyn (Kryten from Red Dwarf) called “The Man in the Rubber Mask” and will be embarking on re-reading the Ringworld series right after.

These covers for the French #scifi imprint Chute Libre are provocative, even today. Only in Europe, eh? Pity. http://t.co/xEqmoB08

Some really nice stuff in those auctions. Anything by a ‘name’ artist are way to pricey (for me) but I’m surprised by the affordable cost of some really nice pieces by what I can only assume are ‘no name’ artists.
Welcome back!

I wish they would have had Google Earth links to show where these images came from

I guess you could make it kind of a game and see if you could Google Earth similar images yourself. Then is Google Image search on “MOMA” (or other artistic key words) and find other pics that could be NASA images.
I guess it’s true. We ARE living in a Google world.

That was fun. I got most of them as soon as I looked at the picture, but there were a few that I really couldn’t tell and had to scroll down.
