Description

Ron Miller, an accomplished author and astronomical artist, and former art director of the National Air and Space Museum’s Albert Einstein Planetarium, created this startling image in 1976 in acrylics on illustration board (10.75 x 14.) He worked as a production illustrator on many science fiction movies, including the Dune, and designed and illustrated the 10-stamp Space Exploration Set for the U.S. Postal Service. Miller has translated and illustrated new editions of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From the Earth to the Moon and Journey to the Center of the Earth as well as a companion/atlas to Verne's works, Extraordinary Voyages. He has acted as a consultant on Verne for Walt Disney Imagineering (for the Paris Disneyland) and A&E Television Network's Biography series. Miller's book The Dream Machines, a comprehensive 744-page history of manned spacecraft, was nominated for the International Astronautical Federation's Manuscript Award and won the Booklist Editor's Choice Award. His original paintings are in numerous private and public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
