Galactic Angel
A Christmas angel, haloed by the darkened disk of an eclipsed Sun, holds the Milky Way galaxy like a frisbee. She is flanked on both sides by images of Jupiter, showing the prominent eye of its great storm among bands of charged atmospheric clouds. She stands on a sea star in glistening waters above the Sun’s nuclear surface. The Sun is seen again on the left side, along with more of its planets--another, red Jupiter, ringed Saturn and clouded Venus. Trumpeting angels celebrate the harmony of the spheres in front of star-spangled nebulae. The collage is framed with strips of the Rosette nebula in Monoceros.
