Cosmic Goddess Floats in Space, Super Science Stories July 1950

A luminous blonde woman in a diaphanous pink gown drifts weightlessly through the star-flecked void, cradling a glowing orb of light in her outstretched hand while a helmeted figure in a space suit reaches desperately toward her from a nearby spacecraft. A crescent moon looms behind her, and her hair billows as if caught in an ethereal solar wind. Is she an alien goddess, a psychic phenomenon, or something humanity was never meant to encounter? The tension is electric.
