Rocket Ships

Except for the last month or so, if you hop over to livemeteors.com on any given day, this is typically what you'll see. This chart represents two smallish, short-duration meteors coming in. Occasionally you'll see a bigger, more colorful dot, or one that stretches into a line that indicates duration, and then some days you might have to wait a while to see anything at all. That's why these latest graphs have been so mind-blowing to me and other people who happen to keep up with these things.
 From a strictly aesthetical point of view, these images are beautiful. It looks like some graphic-design project. It's like some game designer trying to emulate some of the old 8-bit video games, and he's trying out different designs for space ships. Some of the other images remind me of koi in a koi pond; cartoon laser beams; looking at ornate chandeliers when you're tripping balls, and a whole bunch of cool rockets. This stuff is art. I'd hang it on a wall or put it on a t-shirt. Here's a few of the "rocket ships." Enjoy the tour of the outer space art gallery. No charge. Support the arts.
