Ship Hit by Lightning
The French warship Amiral is hit by lightning in St Lawrence river, Canada, and sinks with all her hands : only two women survive, by swimming to the shore

Life on Europa, one of Jupiters moons : little is known of conditions there, so our artist pictures its life in imaginative style

Life on the Stars 4
On Spica, in the constellation Virgo, the light of their sun is 1120 times brighter than ours : so life there will be adapted to it, while a visitor from Earth would be in trouble

Life on the Stars 6
Roads, cities, aerial communication - the inhabitants of the Rigel constellation may not resemble earthfolk, but their civilisation is similar

Earth Seen by Mars
Martian astronomers, on the basis of their observations, may well think that an Earth city looks like this. As though we would walk about with no clothes on !

A City on Saturn
The spider-like inhabitants of Saturn build their cities in volcanic craters, not only for protection but to benefit from the warm temperatures

Venus Sailing Ship
The inventive folk on Venus have doubtless developed ingenious solutions for navigating their oceans : this sailing vessel has wooden sails like Venetian blinds

When Meteorites Crash
Every day 1000s of meteorites hit our planet : most are small, but if a large one were to fall into the ocean near a major city, the destruction would be immense

Life on the Stars 5
Life on a planet of the giant star Betelgeuse : people live in movable homes in which they can migrate from place to place, in tall legged homes

Life on Jupiter
The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is 318 times as large as Earth, so perhaps supports a huge population which may surpass our civilisation in every way

Martian and Earthman
Just as we speculate what Martians are like, they must be wondering about us. Knowing conditions on our planet, they perhaps picture us like this

A City on Europa
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, has cities of glass and plastic, exploiting ersatz science : on the other hand, giant domesticated insects provide the transportation

A City on Io
Temperatures are low on Io, a moon of Jupiter, and its people must wrap up well : their cities are built entirely of crystal, which doesn t make life any cosier

A City on Titan
Here on Titan, largest of Saturns satellite moons, everything is on a massive scale - their cities make New York seem puny. People are intelligent and civilised

Donatis Comet
A spectacular view of Donatis Comet observed over woods. Date: 4 October 1858

Life on the Stars 2
Sirius, brightest star in the Canis Major constellation, may well have developed a highly advanced civilisation with sophisticated technology

A City on Ganymede
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is inhabited by cat-like people, who build their cities at the poles to exploit the magnetic force to provide heat, light and energy

Landslip at Axmouth 2
A massive landslip causes extensive damage to the fishing port of Axmouth, at the mouth of the Axe river. (second of two views)

Life on the Stars 3
The great nebula of Orion is ten light years wide : life forms could resemble those of Earths early phases, with massive aquatic creatures

A City on Callisto
Conditions on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter, are comparable to those on Earth, and their people, cities and artifacts are not radically different from ours

Life on Callisto, one of Jupiters moons : scientists say that it may be capable of supporting life, though not necessarily life as we know it

A City on Mercury
The inhabitants of Mercury are insectoid, and their techno- -logy is a superior form of that used by ants and bees on Earth : quartz crystals are used to build their cities

Life on the Stars
On Vega, giant star of the Lyra (harp) constellation, life could take the form of insect- like creatures, here depicted carrying a visiting traveler from Earth
