Sirius binary star system, Hubble Space Telescope image. Sirius A (centre, Alpha Canis Majoris), in the constellation Canis Major, is the brightest star in the night sky and only 8.6 light years from Earth. It has a very small, faint companion, Sirius B (small dot at lower left). Sirius B, only 12,000 kilometres in diameter, is a white dwarf star, the collapsed core of a star. Normally, the companion star would be obscured by the brightness of its companion, but Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 instrument was used to locate the star, and other instruments were then used to measure the gravitational redshift of its light, and hence its mass. Sirius B has a mass 98% of that of our Sun. The results were published in December 2005.

I am a bit of a sci fi nut, and this is the first of two throw pillows created from a hand pulled monoprint entitled Red Planets, which forms part of a series of outer spaced themed prints that I have been working on for the last twelve months. A portion of the original rectangular design has been reproduced as a square design on each pillow, and each is slightly different so that if you purchase two pillows, one for each side of your sofa, they will look like a set.

Gas pillars in the Eagle Nebula. Computer artwork of dark pillars of dense molecular hydrogen and dust in the Eagle Nebula (M16). The pillars are one light year in length and the most dense parts are known as evaporating gaseous globules (EGGs), which contain embryonic stars. Ultraviolet radiation from nearby young stars evaporates the gas from the pillars, limiting the amount of gas and dust the embryonic stars can gather. The Eagle Nebula is about 7000 light years from Earth.

Black hole, artwork. A black hole is a point in space where gravity is so strong that all surrounding matter, including light, is drawn in and densely compressed. Black holes are thought to be formed from the remnants of a large star that has died in a supernova explosion.

Saturn and its rings. Computer artwork of Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, and its rings. Saturn is a gas giant, composed mostly of helium and hydrogen. With a diameter nearly ten times that of the Earth it is the second largest planet in the Solar System. Its rings, which span almost 300,000 kilometres, are composed of ice and rock particles. The largest gap in the rings is the Cassini division, which separates the A (outer) and B (inner) rings. The smaller gap within the A ring is the Encke division.

Earth's location in the universe, illustration. Series of eight images showing the Earth's location in relation to the scale of the universe. At top left is the Earth (12,756 kilometres across). This is followed (left to right) by the solar system (around 287 billion kilometres across), the local stellar neighbourhood (up to around 130 light years from the Sun), and the Milky Way galaxy (with a diameter of 100,000 light years). The bottom row, from bottom left, shows the Local Group of galaxies with a diameter of 10 million light years, moving up through the Virgo Supercluster (110 million light years across) and the local supercluster complex (the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex which is a billion light years across), ending at bottom...

Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be discovered

Butterfly planetary nebula (NGC 6302), Hubble Space Telescope image. This is a bipolar planetary nebula, a glowing shell of gas cast off by a star near the end of its life. Red areas are nitrogen gas, the coolest gas visible here, white areas are sulphur. The star at the centre of this nebula was very large, with a mass of around five times that of the Sun. This planetary nebula, some 3800 light years from Earth, is located in the constellation Scorpius. Image obtained on 27 July 2009 by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) as part of the Hubble Servicing Mission 4 Early Release Observations (SM4 ERO).

Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) and the star Eta Carinae (upper centre), composite image. Eta Carinae is a variable hypergiant star. This region is 10,000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Carina. This composite image combines data in infrared (red and green) and optical (blue). The infrared data is from the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope and 2MASS (Two Micron All Sky Survey). The optical data is from the DSS (Digitized Sky Survey). This allows study of the structure of the nebula. Red areas are hidden behind dark clouds of dust in visible light. Blue areas are not obscured by dust. Image published in 2011.

Earth and Moon from Saturn. View of the Earth (bright, centre right) and the Moon (faint protrusion from Earth's right side) taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter, from a distance of approximately 1.44 billion kilometres while in orbit around Saturn. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural colour view. Imaged by Cassini's narrow-angle camera on 19th July 2013.

Pinwheel Galaxy (M101, NGC 5457), optical HST image. This is one of the largest spiral galaxies known, at over 170,000 light years across. The nucleus contains mainly stars that are older and yellower than the arms. The arms appear bluer as they contain younger stars, and numerous bright starbirth regions. The Pinwheel Galaxy lies around 27 million light years away in the constellation Ursa Major. This image was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Earth from space. Satellite image of the Earth during the day, centred over the Americas. Imaged by the VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) instrument onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) weather satellite, on 22nd April 2013.

Hand of God pulsar wind nebula. Composite image showing the pulsar wind nebula nicknamed the 'Hand of God'. This cloud of material was ejected from a star that blew up in a supernova explosion. The dead remains of the star at the centre (not visible) is a pulsar named B1509 (PSR B1509-58), which fires out a particle wind into the material around it. These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays. Image composed of high-energy X-ray data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR, blue) and lower-energy X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (green and red).

Active Sun, Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) ultraviolet image. This image was obtained during a period when the Sun had a number of active regions. The bright, spindly strands that extend out of these active regions are particles spinning along magnetic field lines that connect between areas of opposite polarity. The SDO is an Earth-orbiting spacecraft launched in 2010 by NASA and used to observe the Sun. Here, the Sun and its atmosphere (not seen in visible light) is seen at a wavelength of 171 angstroms (extreme ultraviolet). Such images are usually tinted a gold colour, but here the image has been coloured in red. This image was obtained on 1 October 2011.

Umbrellas in Space is one of a series of watercolour paintings I did with umbrellas as the main theme. I attempted to put them in as many situations as I could think of. This painting is my umbrella equivalent of a space ship and I really enjoyed doing it. The original sold immediately and I feel it is an interesting and quirky enough painting to appeal to anyone who likes things to do with outer space.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Obtained in 2003 and 2004, this view shows distant galaxies in an area of the constellation Fornax, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The view shows nearly 10,000 galaxies in what is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The galaxies are of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies (brighter spirals and ellipticals) are from about 1 billion years ago, when the universe was 13 billion years old. This image consists of 800 exposures taken over 11 days, between September 2003 and January 2004. Image data in optical and infrared, from the HST's Advanced Camera fo...
