A lovely visualisation of asteroids in our solar system.
A collection of short stories and essays speculating on humanity’s future in the solar system. The digital versions are free to download.
A lovely piece of design fiction imagining a project where asteroids are shaped and polished into just the right configuration to form part of an enormous solar-system wide optical telescope.
