Issue 4 is historic for the magazine, as it’s the 􀀹inal issue of 2022 and of􀀹icially marks Astrovitae as two years old! Before issue 4 was released, you may have heard about the James Webb Space Telescope from the media either on TV or online. The device lets us gaze into the universe once more—but this time with more accuracy and clarity. Astronomy has grabbed our global fascination again! We can all experience the vastness of space—taking in all of the brightly-lit stars, extravagant nebulas, and funny shaped galaxies. But despite all this space, where is all the life?  \nSpeculative biology had its origin exploring what life could be in the future of our planet. It speculated on how prehistoric organisms may have turned out if history was drastically altered. But today, modern scienti􀀹ic advancements gives speculative biology a new purpose. Now, more than ever, artists within the genre have an important job: to speculate on what life may look like and how it may evolve across the universe.  \nTogether we can collaborate to further explore the beauty of life and speculate on all its interesting mechanisms and features. Christian Cline, author of The Teeming Universe, was asked to create this issue’s cover. It depicts intelligent lifeforms from several different speculative projects—each coming together to read an issue of Astrovitae and discuss the nature of life among the stars. It is a wonderful symbol of our community’s willingness to connect with one another, collaborate, and be simultaneously creative and curious.  \nThank you again for reading this issue’s letter. Please enjoy the art and projects included in this new issue, and stay tuned for more great content to come.  \nSincerely,  \nDomenic Pennetta  \nFounder of Astrovitae & Chief Editor  \nAlthough Astrovitae is very much a labor of love, a small donation or two would really support the editor, the magazine, and its featured artists.
