   Some blessed reddit user made a very high resolution scan of the John Berkey painting used as the cover for National Geographic's "Picture Atlas of Our Universe."

   This specific spaceship absolutley lit my brain on fire when I was a kid.

   Here is the post, with a few different resolutions and crops:

     The cover of that book was my profile photo across social media for a long time!

     @mcnees I had that book somewhere when I was smaller.

     I think I like the spaceship on the left in the background more; it looks more organic and elegant.
