In this whimsical scene, a dreamy purple-teal sky sets the stage with the Moon gently glowing in the top right corner. On the right, an astronaut in a white spacesuit floats serenely, flashing a peace sign with two fingers. On the left, a tricolor dog—black, white, and tan—joins in the fun, dressed in a white spacesuit and clear helmet, looking as if it’s smiling. Between them, NASA’s Orion spacecraft grins with a playful set of glasses, bringing the whole cosmic crew together in a joyful moment of space exploration.
