RAVI SHANKAR 11” x 14” watercolor and pen on paper $250 VIKING SANDBOX 8” x 11.5” marker on paper, signed $250 1976 Viking 1 lands on Mars. Jay Inge, a planetary cartographer works in the “sandbox” at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1976. A full-size working model of the lander was used to mimic what the Viking 1 lander on Mars was actually doing. I sketched Jay as he used rocks and sand to create a facsimile of the actual terrain surrounding the lander, pebble by pebble… HONAUNAU BAY CORAL 9” x 12” acrylic on canvas board $300 ACORN (from THE COSMIC CONNECTION by CARL SAGAN) 8” x 9.5” signed original silk-screen print on paper $80 Acorn was drawn in Boston in 1971 before I met Carl, who asked to use it in his 1973 book. I was learning silk-screening from my friend Tomas Dominguez. We made by hand few silkscreen prints on paper and plexiglass. These were all sold long ago, but a couple have turned up. Very rare item. ICELAND SPACE ART WORKSHOP 9” x 12” colored pencils on black paper $130 Here's a quartet of approx. 9” x 12” pencil sketches on black paper, inspired by the notion of a huge dark matter halo surrounding the Milky Way Galaxy. Sure, a roughly spherical, soft-edged cloud is the safe and easy way to go. But I tried to envision stranger geometries and spatial distribution of the utterly mysterious dark matter component of the Universe. Set of 4 $200 DEATH VALLEY SPACE ART WORKSHOP 6” x 9” acrylic on illustration board $200 Distant Encounters 13” x 17” pencil on paper $300 Pencil sketch for cover art. The paper is actually whiter, but I had to adjust the contrast to show the background Milky Way and stars. Distant Encounters 13” x 17” Acrylic on paper $1000 Design for the cover of the book by Mark Washburn. Saturn and Titan, with the Voyager scan platform containing the cameras. The second Voyager is in the distance, with the Golden Record shown as a gold dot on the spacecraft. Jupiter and its moons and ring are in the distance, beyond them the Sun, Earth and Milky Way. DANCE OF INTERSTELLAR MOLECULES From COMET by Sagan and Druyan 28” x 20” framed in black metal and matte board acrylic on black coated stock. $1000 This double page spread on p.150-151 of the Sagan book. It shows the interstellar molecules that had been detected as of 1986. The shiny black background makes the colors really pop, and apart from the meaning, I like it purely as a graphic. The book labels the molecules (small picture above). The art does not have them. PRINTS ART PRINTS FROM NASA’S VOYAGER GOLDEN RECORD These images were designed and/or drawn by Jon Lomberg for the legendary Golden Record attached to both Voyager spacecraft, bound for the stars. Each print is 16” x 12” made individually on heavyweight art paper and hand- signed. 1-3 prints $40 per print 3-6 prints $35 per print 7 or more $30 per print Jon Lomberg and Voyager Record, Jet Propulsion Lab, 1981 VOYAGER RECORD COVER This diagram on the cover of the Golden Record was devised by Frank Drake drawn by Jon Lomberg. Its purpose is to explain how to ETs how to play the disk and decode the video signals to create pictures. A correctly drawn circle, the first image recorded in the sequence is shown. With an estimated lifetime of 1000 million years, Lomberg’s drawing may become the longest lasting work of human art of all time. Here is a chance to own a print of this drawing signed by the artist! 116 STORYBOARDS FROM CONTACT These laser prints are from my first-generation digital files, which is as close as you can get to an “original” in digital art. Each print is individually signed. The first two sequences are from the famous opening animation From CONTACT. The third is a very brief scene during the Wormhole sequence. The wormhole mouth in this sequence is based on detailed work with astrophysicist Kip Thorne about the visual appearance of wormhole moths. This was dropped from the final animation, because the Director preferred the inaccurate “water down a drain” look, which better describes an accretion disk around a black hole than a wormhole, which is a different thing entirely. 11” x 11” print, signed $25 set of three storyboards $50 signed VIKING 75 poster 18” X 24” $30 plus $10 shipping Commissioned by NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center to mark the 1975 launch of the first spacecraft to land on Mars Approaching the Milky Way Jon Lomberg was chief artist for Carl Sagan's television series COSMOS, and designed most of the animation sequences, including the long trip through the universe that opened the series. This is a scene from that animation, in which the traveler approaches the Milky Way Galaxy, just before diving down into the disc and flying to Earth. Photolithograph, 17" x 23".

    ARTICLE .1 Macro-Perspectives beyond the World System Joseph Voros Swinburne University of Technology Australia Abstract This paper continues a discussion begun in an earlier article on nesting macro-social perspectives to also consider and explore macro-perspectives beyond the level of the current world system and what insights they might reveal for the future of humankind. Key words: Macrohistory, Human expansion into space, Extra-terrestrial civilisations Introduction This paper continues a train of thought begun in an earlier paper (Voros 2006) where an approach to macro-social analysis based on the idea of "nesting" social-analytical perspectives was described and demonstrated (the essence of which, for convenience, is briefly summarised here). In that paper, essential use was made of a typology of social-analytical perspectives proposed by Johan Galtung (1997b), who suggested that human systems could be viewed or studied at three main levels of analysis: the level of the individual person; the level of social systems; and the level of world systems. Distinctions can be made between different foci of study. The focus may be on the stages and causes of change through time (termed diachronic), or it could be at some specific point in time (termed synchronic). As well, the focus may be on a specific single case (termed idiographic), in contrast to seeking regularities, patterns, or generalised "laws" (termed nomo- thetic). In this way, there are four main types of perspectives found at any particular level of analy- sis. This conception is shown here in slightly adapted form in Table 1.1 Journal of Futures Studies, February 2007, 11(3): 1 - 28 Journal of Futures Studies Table 1: Three Levels of Social Analysis Source: Adapted from Galtung (1997b).

Sutton, Ph.D., Chair _________________________________ Jeffrey C. Sanders, Ph.D. _________________________________ Lawrence B. A. Hatter, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This thesis has been years in the making and is the product of input from many, many different people. I am grateful for the support and suggestions of my committee—Matt Sutton, Jeff Sanders, and Lawrence Hatter—all of whom have been far too patient, kind, and helpful. I am also thankful for input I received from Michael Gordin at Princeton and Helen Anne Curry at Cambridge, both of whom read early drafts and proposals and both of whose suggestions I have been careful to incorporate. Catherine Connors and Carol Thomas at the University of Washington provided much early guidance, especially in terms of how and why such a curious topic could have real significance. Of course, none of this would have happened without the support of Bruce Hevly, who has been extraordinarily generous with his time and whose wonderful seminars and lectures have continued to inspire me, nor without Graham Haslam, who is the best teacher and the kindest man I have ever known.

  • An Artist's Collaboration with Astronomer Carl Sagan at UCSD, Jan
    Visualizing Science: An artist's collaboration with astronomer Carl Sagan at UCSD, Jan. 22 January 15, 1997 MEDIA ADVISORY EVENT: Visualizing Science: An Artist's Collaboration with Astronomer Carl Sagan DATE/TIME: 4:15 p.m.--5:30 p.m., Jan. 22, 1997 LOCATION: Peterson Hall, Rm. 108 University of California, San Diego BACKGROUND: Jon Lomberg, principal artistic collaborator to the late Carl Sagan for about a quarter century, will present some of his illustrations and artwork during a public lecture at UCSD honoring Sagan, who died last month. Lomberg will deliver the talk as a UC Regents' Lecturer sponsored by UCSD's Department of Psychology and The Laboratory for Applied Cognitive Research. Since the publication of "The Cosmic Connection" in 1972, Lomberg worked on virtually all of Sagan's projects to popularize science including most of his books, many of his magazine articles, the "nuclear winter" work, and the TV series "Cosmos," for which Lomberg won an Emmy Award for his work as chief artist. At the time of Sagan's death in December, Lomberg and Sagan were collaborating on the film version of Sagan's novel "Contact." In his talk, the artist will describe his work with Sagan, showing many examples of their work together and sharing personal recollections of the world-famous astronomer. Lomberg will deliver a second Regents lecture, "Messages Across Space and Time," from 4:15 p.m.--5:30 p.m., Jan. 29, Peterson Hall, Rm. 108. At this time, Lomberg will describe his role in the creation of four of the most unusual and long-lasting artifacts ever created by human beings, including NASA's Voyager Interstellar Record (for extraterrestrial beings far off the Milky Way).

  • Why SETI Will Fail ‡
    Why SETI Will Fail z B. Zuckerman1 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The union of space telescopes and interstellar spaceships guarantees that if extraterrestrial civilizations were common, someone would have come here long ago. PACS numbers: 97.10.Tk arXiv:1912.08386v1 [physics.pop-ph] 18 Dec 2019 z This article originally appeared in the September/October 2002 issue of Mercury magazine (published by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific). Why SETI Will Fail 2 1. Introduction Where do humans stand on the scale of cosmic intelligence? For most people, this question ranks at or very near the top of the list of "scientific things I would like to know." Lacking hard evidence to constrain the imagination, optimists conclude that technological civilizations far in advance of our own are common in our Milky Way Galaxy, whereas pessimists argue that we Earthlings probably have the most advanced technology around. Consequently, this topic has been debated endlessly and in numerous venues. Unfortunately, significant new information or ideas that can point us in the right direction come along infrequently. But recently I have realized that important connections exist between space astronomy and space travel that have never been discussed in the scientific or popular literature. These connections clearly favor the more pessimistic scenario mentioned above. Serious radio searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have been conducted during the past few decades. Brilliant scientists have been associated with SETI, starting with pioneers like Frank Drake and the late Carl Sagan and then continuing with Paul Horowitz, Jill Tarter, and the late Barney Oliver.

  • Remixing the Voyager Interstellar Record Or, As Extraterrestrials Might Listen
    Journal of Sonic Studies 8 (2014) Sounds of Space: http://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/109536/109537 Remixing the Voyager Interstellar Record Or, As Extraterrestrials Might Listen Stefan Helmreich Contextualizing the Context In 2010, scientists claiming to belong to a dissenting faction of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) contacted Seeland Records. Calling themselves the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Exile, or SETI-X, the group claimed to have received an alien transmission of rearranged sound from the Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph album famously sent into outer space in 1977 on each of NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft (Figure 1). The Golden Record had been put together in the mid-1970s by a panel convened by astronomer Carl Sagan, and it held a program of sounds and music of Earth, representing to imagined aliens our planet’s soundscapes, voices, and musical traditions. [1] Figure 1: The Voyager Golden Record. Side 1, on left, is the analog audio program. Side 2, on right, instructions to extraterrestrials on how to play the record. [2] 1 Because the scientists of SETI-X wished to remain anonymous, Seeland sought a public voice or commentator from other quarters. Because the label had in 2003 released a CD I had created, Xerophonics: Copying Machine Music, a science- and-technology themed mix of sounds of indefinite ownership (Helmreich 2003), and because I had also written about scientific notions of extraterrestrial life (Helmreich 2006), Seeland reasoned that I might be appropriately positioned to offer thoughts on the SETI-X document. They asked me to comment, which I did in a few venues (including, among other sites, the Los Angeles Daily News [Mills 2010].
