Orbit
Orbit This print by artist and Planetary Society supporter Anna Moore, titled “Orbit,” shows a repeating pattern of spacecraft around our planet.“Orbit” captures the role of technology in space science and exploration. From advanced AI to basic nuts and bolts, every element that allows us to reach out into the Cosmos is designed and built by humans. Although exploration is a human endeavor, it is carried out by technologies we create.This art piece is also a feat of technology. Anna made a digital illustration based on real spacecraft images, then laser-engraved the illustration onto a wood block to make a print. Anna Moore
