Cylinder Eclipse — Don Davis
Cylinder Eclipse — Don Davis
Cylinder Eclipse by Don Davis depicts a rare eclipse inside an O’Neill Cylinder, one of NASA Ames Research Center's visionary concepts for permanent human settlements in space. Golden clouds drift beneath an artificial sky while rugged hills, rivers, and distant landscapes curve upward along the interior walls of the immense rotating habitat.
Created during NASA's Space Settlement Studies, the artwork combines atmospheric lighting with scientifically inspired engineering. The glowing eclipse, dramatic cloud formations, and extraordinary perspective make this one of the most iconic paintings from the classic 1970s NASA space art collection.
