October 4, 2181: The UNSS Skyward Spirit ignites its massively powerful fusion drive in cislunar space, beginning its 24-year round trip to Proxima Centauri. Visible on the Moon are the cities of Byrd, Guǎnghángōng, Apollo City, Tsiolkovskiy, Tycho, and Shackleton, as well as many smaller settlements, all connected by the lunar rail system. Off the sunward limb of the Moon one can also spot the city-station Tsukuyomi in low orbit, with half a dozen vessels in its vicinity. Taken by an unknown photographer at dawn on the west bank of Lake Tanganyika (DRC), using a telescopic lens.
a rare Spy Art appears! photobash of the moment humankind started their very first journey to another sun in my hard science fiction setting Astra Planeta. edited in Paint.NET using a screenshot from Space Engine.

I'm in the process of giving the Diaspora star map a much-needed aesthetic overhaul. It's turning out pretty well so far! Here's the first stage: up to 10 ly from Sol.
Some notes:
all stars (four and eight points) signify an individual star, colored according to its spectral type.
eight-pointed stars are the homesuns of sapient species.
stars with rings have at least one planet. green rings indicate native life present; red rings indicate prior terraformation by the extinct Hemeran civilization.
the two other markers, one white dot and one white dot with an angled ring, indicate rogue interstellar planets.
the map is arranged by right ascension (celestial X coordinate) and distance, so the +/- number above each system is its declination (celestial Y coordinate).
the arrows at the center indicate the directions of the galactic core and rim, using the symbols of Sagittarius and Orion, respectively (although this map is aligned to right ascension which means the plane we're viewing is actually almost perpendicular to the galactic disk)

i've been thinkin about this since i watched the first ep of season 2 but what if yor gets a blood stain from all the walking and stuff and loid sees it and thinks she's on her period and
[ID (by @princess-of-purple-prose): A Spy x Family comic of Loid and Yor on their first date. Yor looks uncomfortable as she walks in front of Loid, and Loid looks surprised as he notices a spot of blood on her dress. He smiles earnestly and takes off his coat to tie it around Yor's waist. Yor looks surprised, and sparks float around Loid's face. End ID]
