Perhaps well known, but if you're looking for amazing wall art, the NASA Exoplanet series is fantastic (exoplanets.nasa.gov)

This is a poster series in a retro style. They look fantastic in large prints. The space telescope series is also on the page. I personally adore the JWST poster and have a large print of it in canvas form: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/2294/james-webb-space-telescope-poster/?layout=magic_shell&travel_bureau=true&cid=4,travel_bureau_missions

Just sitting here realizing .... is the fediverse going to make me smarter?

I've been here a few weeks and instead of watching outrage content that makes me pace around my house, I've been listening to podcasts on morality and rationality and taking sci-fi (emphasis on SCI) space tours made by NASA.

Anyways thanks for posting this. New to me!

I had the same thought. There are no algorithms for engagement, there's minimal political agenda pushing, and nobody is getting monetized for the content they make...

Is this, home? This feels like the old internet again.

Short answer: yes

Longer answer: anything that gets you out of your comfort zone will expand your box of interests. Choose wisely your time.

These are awesome, thanks for sharing!

Now I just need to find a place that can print these posters in a good quality

u/CoderKat where did you get your canvas printed?

Edit: Is there a way to mention users like on Reddit?

I personally just used Walmart's photo center, simply because it was cheapest and they had a convenience online tool and delivered to my door. But for the canvas prints, I had to make minor edits to stretch the edges, since the canvas has wrap around (and I didn't want a plain white edge). That's not an issue if not using a canvas format.

You might be able to get higher quality from other printers, though at a higher price. I did try some other possible printer that would have avoided the need to edit the images (they had a mirror option for the canvas wrapping), but it was significantly more expensive, so I didn't do that.

Also, I think @user@domain, but I don't know if it notifies the user yet.

I’ve been getting large canvas prints (40x20inch - large to me anyway) from easycanvasprints.com for several years now and have been really impressed with each one. And the price is never bad at all.

Someone hired the dude from Fired On Mars to make these posters.

Is the show any good? I like the premise but I'm scared it's gonna be a bad execution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I really liked the recent version. It was pretty slow building, kinda difficult to get through the first couple episodes but then it got better and better towards the end.
