Here are the thoughts from the artist. So much meaning in this work. Everything from the tiles, to items on the tables and the eyeless cats.

I watched this large painting come into existence over the pass 3+ months. It is enjoyable to watch a particular area evolve rather than see it all happen- hard to catch everything. It is full of deep symbolism and prints are available. youtube.com/watch?v=j-8710Rg…

My most recent comment on my comet image "Not impressive at all considering the equipment... " Well... you can see the video and judge for yourself!

In July of 2000 I enjoyed my first NASA APOD. Funny enough, it wasn't even a space picture. (It was a picture of lightning!) Today, almost exactly 23 years later, I am thrilled to have my 100th APOD.

This is a follow-up tweet- here is the composite image I made which combines HST and ALMA data (the blue and pink rings) which was all that was previously known until this new wonderful image!
I am so excited to share the image I created as part of the press release for the discoveries in Fomalhaut's stellar system including asteroid belts and gaps that suggest unseen planets. Credit: Adam Block/Andras Gaspar/Steward Observatory/University of Arizona
With the end of the year and the beginning of another I am publishing this image which feels celebratory, full of wonder and potential.
The life-like cloud formations of NGC 1555 and SH2-239 add joyous movement- they literally seem to be dancing with the stars.
Star death creates dust... and from this dust (and gas) stars are created. Rather cyclic! This is region surrounding NGC 1333. adamblockphotos.com/ngc1333-…
Rising now in the early evenings are the sisters that sparkle...

Wonderfully this is the subject matter I show in my instructional videos on astronomical image processing. Please step outside next time it is clear and check them out.
You can compare new JWST image with older HST data with a video I just created to help give some context:

JWST Image Released! President's first comment upon seeing this remarkable image and learning that JWST will measure the habitability of other extra-solar planets.... "I wonder what the Press is like on those worlds... " LOL It is all a matter of perspective I guess.
