Environment Artist Brecht Sohier walked us through the Plains of Lakonia, an authentic ancient Greek building that would seamlessly fit in with the world of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, detailing the approach to the creation of assorted pots, vegetation, and sculpted rocks, and sharing valuable tips for beginner artists.

That’s the goal with a mock-up asteroid NASA and the University of West Virginia recently built from rock, styrofoam, plywood and an aluminum endoskeleton. The mock-up is in preparation for NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) which will send a spacecraft to rendezvous with a target asteroid, land a robotic spacecraft on the surface, grab a 4 meter or so sized boulder and be
It’s not everyday you could have the opportunity to buy a piece of space – but Christie’s London auction house will on April 20 offer about 80 meteorite pieces and a bunch of space rock paraphernalia to go along with them.
