  • Don Davis (Donald E. Davis, nascut el 21 d'octubre de 1952) és un artista espacial conegut per les seves representacions de temes relacionats amb l'espai. La seva obra es caracteritza per l'atenció al detall i les representacions autèntiques basades en el que se sap del tema. , considerat per molts com un dels professionals més exitosos del gènere de l'art espacial, va criticar les primeres pintures de Davis i el va animar a seguir una carrera artística. Davis va treballar per a la branca d'Estudis Astrogeològics del del Servei Geològic dels Estats Units durant les expedicions de l'Apollo Lunar i des de llavors ha pintat moltes imatges per a la NASA. L'art de la NASA incloïa retrats d'interiors de colònies espacials gegants, basats en el treball de Gerard O'Neill. Va formar part de l'equip d'artistes espacials reunits per proporcionar els efectes visuals de la sèrie de PBS Cosmos de Carl Sagan. Més tard va pintar la portada del llibre guanyador del premi Pulitzer de Sagan . Altres llibres de Carl Sagan que inclouen el treball de Don són and . Davis ha realitzat nombroses pintures d'esdeveniments d'impacte per a publicacions i per a la NASA. A principis dels anys 80 del segle xx va crear mapes de textura planetària per utilitzar-los en les simulacions gràfiques per ordinador del Jet Propulsion Laboratory de les trobades de la Voyager amb els planetes exteriors. Durant els anys 80 i principis dels 90 del segle xx, Davis va crear models i animacions de pel·lícules com a part dels equips de producció d'efectes visuals per als programes del PBS Planet Earth, Infinite Voyage, Space Age , i Life Beyond Earth amb Timothy Ferris. Va pintar i filmar en 35 mm una animació de l'entrada de la sonda Galileu a Júpiter per a la NASA Ames. Nombroses seqüències per a programes científics de Discovery Channel com ara Savage Sun i Cosmic Safari es van crear posteriorment utilitzant mètodes d'animació gràfica per ordinador. Les animacions realitzades en formats hemisfèrics immersius per a teatres amb cúpula tipus planetari formen ara l'equilibri del seu treball. Davis va rebre un Emmy pel seu treball a Cosmos, i el 2002 el premi Klumpke-Roberts de la Societat Astronòmica del Pacífic per les seves contribucions destacades a la comprensió pública i l'apreciació de l'astronomia. L'asteroide 13330 Dondavis porta el seu nom. L'any 2000 va ser elegit membre de l'. (ca)

His work is characterised by attention to detail and authentic portrayals based on what is known of the subject. Chesley Bonestell, considered by many to be one of the most accomplished practitioners of the space art genre, critiqued Davis' early paintings and encouraged him to pursue an artistic career. Davis worked for the U. S. Geological Survey's branch of Astrogeologic Studies during the Apollo Lunar expeditions and has since painted many images for NASA. The NASA art included portrayals of interiors of giant space colonies, based on the work of Gerard O'Neill. He was part of the team of space artists gathered to provide the visual effects for the PBS series Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Later he painted the cover of Sagan's Pulitzer Prize–winning book The Dragons of Eden. Other books by Carl Sagan including Don's work are Comet and Pale Blue Dot. Davis has made numerous paintings of impact events for publications and for NASA. In the early 1980s he created planetary texture maps for use in Jet Propulsion Laboratory computer graphic simulations of the Voyager encounters with the outer planets. During the 1980s and early 1990s Davis created models and film animations as part of the visual effects production teams for the PBS shows Planet Earth, Infinite Voyage, Space Age, and Life Beyond Earth with Timothy Ferris. He painted and filmed in 35 mm an animation of the Galileo probe entry into Jupiter for NASA Ames. Numerous sequences for Discovery Channel science shows such as Savage Sun and Cosmic Safari were later created using computer graphic animation methods. Animations done in immersive hemispheric formats for planetarium type domed theaters now form the balance of his work. Davis received an Emmy for his work on Cosmos, and the 2002 Klumpke-Roberts Award by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for outstanding contributions to the public understanding and appreciation of astronomy. The asteroid 13330 Dondavis is named after him. In 2000 he was elected a Fellow in the International Association of Astronomical Artists. (en)
