I quite like this one. I've entitled it "Sky Sperm."

/I can imagine half of these being imagery for Art Decco poster-prints.

They didn't have etch-a-sketch or MS Paint back then you know. They did, however, have Absinthe. Which explains a lot.

Quick, Find a picture of some celestial object, and draw a picture of it using only your hands and art supplies. Then post it on Fark. We will compare your drawing with these and see which is better. Next, try doing the same using only 1800's telescopes to observe the celestial objects you would like to draw. I, myself was amazed at how easy it was to identify what each drawing was supposed to be of. I also enjoyed how they saw different objects in the Sun (looks like a bird head, possibly a pheonix?), and in the moon craters.
