Fierce Planets
Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features.
Inspired by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Dr. Sabine Stanley's work in planetary science, a diverse group of artists from 11 countries around the world present their views of the universe.
