This picture should look familiar as I posted it a while ago. What I didn't know at the time was who painted it: Chesley Bonestell a famous astronomical painter from the 1950's. His art hangs in the National Air & Space Museum. Bonestell also helped design the Golden Gate Bridge and the Chrysler Building. He also did all the solar system matte paintings at the beginning of the 1953 movie THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
