EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Near-Earth asteroids" by Detlev van Ravenswaay depicts a chilling scenario of impending doom from outer space. The print showcases a massive 10-kilometer-sized asteroid, accompanied by smaller co-asteroids, ominously approaching our planet. With the potential for catastrophic impact in North America, this thought-provoking image serves as a stark reminder of the constant threat posed by these celestial bodies. As we gaze upon the cloudy landscape below, we are reminded that each passing day brings objects of varying sizes hurtling through Earth's orbit. It is not a matter of if but when such an event will occur. The illustration highlights the vulnerability of our environment and geography to these cosmic dangers. The image captures the vastness and beauty of our planet with its swirling clouds, expansive oceans including the Atlantic and Pacific, icy landscapes like Alaska and the Arctic region. From this perspective in space observation, it becomes apparent how interconnected everything is on Earth - landmasses merging seamlessly into seas while continents span across hemispheres. In this profound visual representation, Detlev van Ravenswaay skillfully combines artistry with scientific accuracy to remind us that even amidst breathtaking natural wonders and starry skies above us lies an ever-present danger lurking just beyond our atmosphere – reminding us to appreciate and protect our fragile home in the solar system.
