A humourous oil painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus that was created when the artist was only 15 or 16 years old.
Mars ist struck by an arrow in his chest but it is a love arrow 😘
🏛️ Mars, Venus and #Vulcan, by John Singleton Copley. Oil on canvas, dated 1754 CE. Today in the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, USA.
T-shirt at 7am. It will chill shortly, as the rising sun sucks the heat from the earth. It sure is calm on the ocean. Something swam by, perhaps an otter, sometimes a seal, depending on the tides.
I can get started on some work soon. I just bathed Maya again, actually, I gave her the shower wand to walk under while we shampooed her fur.
It's too warm inside. I started a wood fire before I realized how warm it was.
Another picture from my recent sojourn at Mount John. Venus at its brightest gleaming balefully over the largest optical telescope in New Zealand. Mars is just above! #venus#mars#NewZealand
Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
You have heard of Princess Leia in the golden bikini. Now get ready for #VENUS in a golden bikini! Homegirl is putting on her golden sandals, aided by her son #Eros. She is using a statue of #Priapus with a gilded erection to lean on.
Nur wenige Wochen nach der tödlichen „Titan“-Katastrophe hat der Mitbegründer der Betreiberfirma über seine Pläne für eine Kolonie in der Venusatmosphäre gesprochen.
Thanks to a poorly chosen font and some good natured fun, the The International Astronomical Union has officially named Venus' quasi-moon 2002VE as 'Zoozve'.
Just for fun.... Yesterday I fired up one of my small 'scopes for the first time in ages. Not the best images but here are crescent Venus (shot during the day) and Saturn taken with the same camera and telescope combo. This means this is a comparison of the planet's actual apparent sizes as seen from Earth yesterday. #venus#saturn#astronomy#NewZealand
Conjunction of a crescent moon and the planet Venus on a lightly overcast night on 12/28/2019 as seen through the second floor window of an officer's quarter's ruin at Fort Churchill, Nevada State Park. (This shot is as it was, however, it is a focus stack of two images.)
My artwork is part of the Dakotans for Health fundraising auction. Help us regain bodily autonomy in South Dakota and add to your art collection by bidding on my painting!
Here's a picture of Venus taken this afternoon at 4:09pm New Zealand time. It's a lovely crescent at the moment! Tonight it was 6.9% illuminated and just 47.6 million km from Earth! #Venus#beauty#Astronomy#NewZealand
#PPOD: Venus's surface as seen by Venera-14, a Soviet space mission launched in 1981. The lander touched down on 5 March 1982 and survived about an hour on the surface, nearly double the planned life. With a temperature of 465 °C and a pressure 94 times as strong as that of Earth, our "twin" planet is not at all hospitable to humans or machines. Credit: Roscosmos; Image processing: Ted Stryk
