They might look "buggy", but hexagons are a real shape proposed for solar sails...and it looks like this fleet is going to take advantage of some serious radiation pressure, as they "Reach for the Suns".

Oh I'm sure it'd take the mother of all tinted windows to stop it from blinding you, but imagine being on a solar sail, making a fly-by to gain speed to your final destination, and then seeing *this* out your window. The ultimate scenic route, in my own painting, "Reach for the light".

It would *ruin* observations of other stars and galaxies, but when you're surrounded by a sight this awesome, who cares about astronomical targets further afield?

Painted by yours truly: "Telescope in blue nebula with comets".

I think we really underestimate how beautiful it can be on the other planets. Oh, this scene is fictional, but when we blaze the loneliest trails in the solar system, I betcha there will be nights that'll look *just like this*.

Would be nice to be in a part of space that was a bit more meditative than where we find ourselves, wouldn't it? Such as the realm of these "Soothing Stars". Painting by me.

Alright, in hindsight it's almost birthday-party-balloon colors, but so help me *I love it*, these stellar-nursery vibes. From my hand back when I had my artist's tablet: "An arm of stars in purple and red".

Nice place to spend a lazy evening, isn't it?

My own spacey painting, "Girl gazing at red and gold nebula".
