Glitched Carl Sagan NASA Pioneer Earth Locator Mug
Worried about being abducted by aliens while having your morning cup of Joe? Headed for Mars and worried about getting lost? This Earth Locator Mug is the coffee mug to get. This was inspired by one of our most-liked Instagram digital art works. It’s glitch art, Warhol-esque pop-art. It was created entirely via computer algorithms from our family-friendly version of the Carl Sagan and NASA co-designed Pioneer Plaque that went into space in the 1970s. The original image provides extraterrestrials with Earth’s location using the timings of many pulsars our blog. The original is a monochrome engraving. However, because this is glitch art, this is a much cooler-looking multicolor version. Something about the design said “coffee mug” to us.If you find yourself abducted by aliens, or lost in space, this mug can be used to locate Earth. (Just hold on to it after you’re abducted. Also, you’ll probably need to find some friendly aliens first who know about pulsar timings and can help.)… Read the restSolar eruption photo overload
Solar eruption and “Black Swan” event photo overload: this is an encore layout collage of our earlier glitch variations (and original) giant sun prominent post on IG. This giant prominence erupted from the sun on Aug 31, 2012, sending a shockwave towards Earth that could have caused some very serious problems. You can read more about the Sun in our earlier posts on theories of harnessing energy from the sun apply to civilizations (including human civilizations) as well as how giant solar shockwaves pose a threat to Earth (1859 Carrington event – Wikipedia). Our earlier blog post also talked about how the Chinese have nearly 3,000 years of recorded solar observations, which comes in handy.

Ok, we took a pause from our variations on maps and charts to look back at some of the more iconic past images on our IG feed. One of our most iconic (and recognizable) is the Carl Sagan-designed plaque that went into space aboard Pioneer in the 1970s as a message to aliens. We had to crop the image to keep within IG community standards. (We also did a 3D-printed version of this.) So here is our first take on this: glitched Carl Sagan Pioneer Nasa plaque. If aliens would have a hard time deducing Earth’s location from the original Plaque due to the errors (see our original post and some of subsequent ones), this glitch art version would totally confuse them. If only we sent this version into space instead, Earth would now be safe from predatory aliens! 🙂 It’s also no longer #monochrome, due to the glitching skewing the colors.Ironically,… Read the restEvolution of historical notions of Earth
A collage we created to help visualize evolving historical notions of Earth over time. We created it as part of our IG data visualization series. The first two maps are from ancient Rome. The middle image is of a 16th-century map is already surprisingly accurate. (That map was the tanktop being worn by our virtual reality fashion model in our last collage.) The last image is Earth photographed from space. D Data and geospatial analytics, where data is combined with other location information, are often important components in data analysis and visualizations. We have more and modern map collages forthcoming. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version. Instagram likes: (more…)… Read the restRecent Comments
