The Moog battle fleets will fall to the Rebel’s Hammond fighter squadrons and their funky chord attacks.

I would assume Moog is a little smarter than the Galactic Empire.

An elegant weapon, for a funkier age.

Looks like an M.C. Escher mezzotint print.

that’s exactly what i thought too!

here’s a shot with more standard lighting. ( the difference really shows the art in taking a photograph i think. apologies to this other photographer :grimacing: )

from: https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/facilities/aapl/

i was kind of wondering if the gallery accidentally rotated it.

the caption says:

NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara brings a fresh perspective to portrait photography with a hair flip that seems to defy gravity

but it looks like you’d expect for a person upside down.
