Prompt: space station on the moon, lots of glass, colorful inside, grey outside, earth in background – Bing Image Creator

Theme

With all the news about humans travelling into space for fun, I thought it would be time for a challenge about space.

Ready to unleash your creativity? Show us your vision of humanity’s future in space! Whether it’s futuristic space stations, colonized planets, or deep-space exploration, we want to see how YOU imagine humans conquering the stars.

Submit your best AI-generated artwork and be part of this exciting journey beyond Earth. I’m sure you can do a lot better than my space station on the moon ;)

Like previous entries, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and the early bird often catches the worm. So for this challenge I’m subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours. It’s not ideal, and I know it’s not something everybody likes, but we should settle that outside the contest I think.

Rules

  • Follow the community’s rules above all else

  • One comment and image per user

  • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)

  • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)

  • Posts that are tied will both get the points

  • The challenge runs for 7 days from now on

  • Down votes will not be counted

  • Scores

  • At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:

Prize Points
Most upvoted +3 points
Second most upvoted +1 point
Third most upvoted +1 point
OP’s favorite +1 point
Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
Prompt and workflow included +1 point
Post within 24 hours -1 point

The winner gets to pick the next theme. As always, have fun everyone! Previous entries

    I felt that things are looking pretty dire nowadays. So I decided to go with something that sounds positive for me.

    Prompt : A futuristic solarpunk city on an alien planet, with buildings covered in vertical gardens and solar panels. Solar-powered airships float in the sky, while wind turbines and sleek electric vehicles move through lush streets filled with exotic flora. People live in harmony with nature, tending to community gardens and harvesting renewable energy. The city integrates with the natural landscape, bathed in bright sunlight, embodying sustainable and eco-friendly living. Trees have blue and purple leaves.

      This looks really nice.

      Though I always feel like vertical cities like these need more sky bridges on different levels.
      You would need so many elevators just to get from one place to the next. Unless you’re into some serious stair walking :)

        Agreed on sky bridge! Or like, those walkable moving sidewalks, you know, that people thought would exist in the future, decades ago?

          Oh yes, I remember:

          This was from over 60 years ago! 😳

          What have we been doing all this time? We could have had elevated moving walkways without any guard rails by now!

        Earth will briefly have a second ‘mini moon’ this autumn

        Earth’s gravitational pull will cause a trapped asteroid to orbit around planet for about two months

        According to a study published this week, an asteroid roughly the length of a city bus will be captured by Earth’s gravitational pull and orbit our planet for about two months, becoming a “mini moon”.

        It will spend time with Earth from 29 September until 25 November before returning to its home, an asteroid belt revolving around the sun.

          But we can’t see it :(

          The object will be “too small and dim for typical amateur telescopes and binoculars”

    As the ship shuddered, little Noah stood by the viewport, pressing his tiny hand against the cool glass. His breath fogged up the window as he stared out at the chaos unfolding in the skies beyond. Planets hung like marbles in the void, burning and fractured, and streaks of light flashed by—the endless war raging on in the distant space. He didn’t understand why everything outside was crumbling, but he could feel the tension around him.

      Interesting. AI knows the surface of Mars, so it paints it red, but it doesn’t know its inside, and doesn’t understand it should be the same color.
