- Info NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program released a set of "Exoplanet Travel Bureau" posters. They're lovely illustrations in a sort of retrofuturist style. Each of them highlights interesting facts about the planets. The Rains of Terror and Zombie Worlds posters were released after the others, for Halloween I believe. They're a little different, but are nonetheless listed as part of this "Travel Bureau" set. I've uploaded all original TIFFs/JPGs, but am nominating a set of very high quality PNGs which I created from the TIFFs. I would've nominated the TIFFs, but they're both huge and seem to be causing a couple errors. JPGs weren't available for all of them, and PNG is better for this sort of image anyway. created by NASA/JPL-CalTech. uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites talk | 18:57, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Support I find these absolutely delightful, and they have very high levels of quality, educational value, and wow factor. First time I've thought to nominate a set, I think. — Rhododendrites talk | 18:57, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Those folks at NASA really have a sense of humor! This is really different from every other FPC nom I can remember. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

- Support I remember coming across some of these when they first came out last year. I wouldn't immediately have thought of them as FP material, but now they're here, I don't see why not. They're actually quite good, whimsical art, and they succeed in conveying interesting facts about each of the exoplanets. Good work in making the effort to create PNGs from the original TIFFs rather than just nominating the JPEGs. Cmao20 (talk) 13:44, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

- Support NASA's got some really good people in their PR department. I'm a great fan of those rip-offs from movie posters they do for all ISS missions. :) --Cart (talk) 16:21, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
