There's one final triad of alien planet (surface) paintings by Mike Minor in #StarTrekTOS' "Is There in Truth no Beauty" but we sadly only see the bottom one (featuring a cool alien pyramid) and the bottom of the middle one (it's...it's...green!). I'm sure the label says "Aldebaran V". 🧵 1/2

This one is particularly cool as it's the only one we get a proper look at, as it was featured in Starlog Issue 25 (August 1979) in an interview with Mike Minor. It's called "A view of an alien world in a double star system". The label is no longer present, as it must have been added on set. 2/2

@gaghyogi49 That looks very much like something Chesley Bonestell did. And the time matches.

@gaghyogi49 Bonestell. Cover painting for F&SF #, November 1954.

@gaghyogi49 Maybe Minor was inspired.
