We have a beautiful and varied solar system, even if we’ve only visited a few celestial bodies so far.
That hasn’t stopped some of us from dreaming and imagining of far-flung vacations to distant planets and moons. Artist Steve Thomas has an amazing collection of travel posters in the style of classic airline and railway posters from the middle of the last century.
Instead of travel to Banff and St. Croix, the destinations include Europa, a moon of Jupiter, and Triton, a moon of Neptune. They are illustrated in a lovely throwback style, and include lines like “Explore the Crimson Canyons of Mars” and “Sail Under the Ice of Neptune – Yellow Star Line”

Thomas describes his inspiration and research for the project to Moss and Fog:
“When I started the series it was purely from imagination. Those include Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Titan. After I went through all the planets the first time, then I started to do a little more research on what they would actually be like. So the second round of Space Travel posters started to get a little more accurate, but still with a healthy dose of imagination.”
