I learned of this absolutely incredible painting today, titled “Hunters, Floaters, and Sinkers”
It was made for this PBS series “Cosmos” with Carl Sagan, appearing in the second episode to show hypothetical life on a gas giant. The actual piece is extremely large.

People are looking for life on other planets and they have determined certain conditions have to be met yet none have indicated for life to exist there the starting point should be energy in any form. It might be heat of a sun or mere movement as in mechanical or chemical energy.

Sadly no digital version has a high enough resolution to be able to zoom in fully. It was made with millimeter precision, though, intended to be used in all sorts of ways for the episode. Regardless, it took my breath away when I saw it. I’d love to see something like this but in motion, someday.
