A Space-Habitat on Asteroid (2)
Unframed Prints. Medium: archival pigment print The subject, an asteroid-like Space-Settlement, was formed naturally by micro crystal on the microscope glass slide. The photomicrograph was taken using a transmitted light microscopy (4X objective Lens) and digital camera. Wikipedia: The term space habitat sometimes includes more broadly habitats built on or in a body other than Earth—such as the Moon, Mars or an asteroid. An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a planet nor a comet. They are rocky, metallic or icy bodies with no atmosphere. Sizes and shapes of asteroids vary significantly, ranging from 1-meter rocks to a dwarf planet almost 1000 km in diameter. Asteroids are generally classified to be of three types: C-type, M-type, and S-type. Artist: Mirage John (Dongsheng Zhang) Markings: signed Certificate of Authenticity
