image creditThe immense size and mesmerising beauty of the universe has captivated imaginations for centuries. Some look up and try to fathom their place in the unfolding galaxy above, while many study the skies in the pursuit of knowledge and others still, beguiled by such a rich cosmic tapestry, use ink to create stunning, realistic visual representations of space.
Some within the community prefer to create accurate projections of planets, stars, moons and galaxies, others choose to draw and paint fantastical alien worlds and futuristic landscapes.
The eleven amazing astronomical illustrations explored here cover a range of styles, from realist to surrealist and even impressionist, with each awe-inspiring image of the final frontier combining creativity and imagination.
