Craters!
CRASH! BANG! BOOM!
Craters, craters everywhere! The entire solar system shows evidence of impacts of objects from space, so it’s only fitting to see that evidence in a Pulsar! Above NASA images are of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Miranda.

Hi Gang! There were just too many “hints” from the list server that I should focus this issue on the leftovers from cosmic billiards for me to ignore. So, here it is! Lots of great art tips for painting craters. Enjoy!

Jon!
