N°194: From Electrons To Stars
In March 2013, the European Space Agency [ESA] will launch GAIA. A successor of Hypparcos, GAIA will have the task to generate a complete, three dimensional map of our Milky Way galaxy.
Last summer, I was contacted by French astro-physician Thibaut Prod'homme, who works at the Leiden University. I worked as a cover artist for his brilliant Thésis: "From Electrons to Stars: Modelling and mitigation of radiation damage effects on astronomical CCDs". It was a no brainer for me, as I enjoy the idea to work for many different fields, Astro-physics being certainly an exciting one !

From the thesis: "To visualize outer space and immense manifestations such as solar eruptions, French illustrator Julien ALDAY manipulates photographic elements
by shooting oxidation upon metallic plates.
In recording a small chemical reaction, he ultimately depicts events on a cosmic scale.
From top to bottom the graphical elements represent the Gaia spacecraft downlinking data to Earth, the Earth and its magnetosphere, the Sun and the solar wind"
Take care, Folks.

Prems pour le comment; Joli travail frangin. J' aurais quelques idées à te soumettre pour les prochaines éditions de tes boulots, si ça te dit...
A bientôt,
Mathieu.
