Scientific Lyric

Here's more paintings that came to me like a lucid dream.

Hope you like them!!

Back in 1957, Earth didn’t have a single artificial satellite orbiting it. Fast forward to 2025, and now there are over 10,000 active satellites up there, plus thousands of fragments. It’s honestly one of the fastest technological leaps we’ve ever made, and it’s turned near-Earth space into a pretty crowded place.

It all started with Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957—the first human-made object to make it into orbit. Since then, things have taken off fast. Agencies like NASA and ESA, along with private companies like SpaceX, have completely transformed Earth’s orbit into this invisible network that keeps our world running—communications, GPS, weather tracking, even security.

If you think about it simply, satellites are like tools floating around the planet. Some are in low Earth orbit, a few hundred to a couple thousand kilometers up, circling the Earth every 90 minutes or so. Others sit way higher in geostationary orbit, around 35,786 kilometers, staying fixed over one spot and keeping constant watch. Together, they make global connectivity possible in a way that would’ve sounded like science fiction not that long ago.

What’s really interesting is that most of the growth isn’t coming from governments anymore. It’s these massive constellations of small satellites, especially for internet coverage and Earth imaging. There are thousands of them now. It’s amazing, but it also raises real concerns about space getting overcrowded, debris, and how sustainable all of this is long term.

Bit of a photo dump, I've been trying my hand at painting!!

It's been coming out really well in my opinion!!

Let me know what you'd like to see me paint next!! I love getting new ideas!! ✨ 🎨 😊 😁

NASA might’ve just found a planet that feels a lot like Earth… and it’s about 40 light years away 🌍✨
Imagine if another Earth is already out there, just waiting for us to find it.

Scientists recently discovered an Earth-sized planet sitting in what they call the “habitable zone” — basically the sweet spot where liquid water could exist.

Now, that doesn’t mean aliens are confirmed or anything… but it does mean this planet could have conditions pretty similar to ours.

🪐 About the same size as Earth
💧 Could support liquid water
🌌 Way out in another solar system
🔭 Another step closer to finding life beyond our planet

The universe just keeps getting bigger… and honestly, a lot more mysterious.

If we could go there someday… would you? 🚀
