Introduction - LordOther - 08-21-2019 Hello all, I'm new around here- the forums at least, although I have been popping in and checking out the content on the Orion's Arm site proper from time to time.  I have been a fan of science fiction from since I was little, and as I have grown older I find that I enjoy the hard science aspect of the genre more and more.  I also read a lot of articles pertaining to developments in the fields of astrophysics/cosmology, new exoplanet discoveries, and futurism, so discovering this forum was a pleasant surprise.  Aside from that I listen to podcasts from folks like Isaac Arthur and John Michael Godier, and as part of the art I like to do, I build texture maps for planets (based off my knowledge of science, and what I've picked up from science papers and articles) and then render them over on http://planetmaker.wthr.us/.  Below is an example of some of my artwork I've created for a tidally locked terrestrial world in system of a M class dwarf.   Lord Other RE: Introduction - Drashner1 - 08-21-2019 Hi There - Welcome to OA!
