...our physical explorations of celestial worlds as well as in terms of scientific studies of our universe. Since the beginning of man's presence on this planet, he has attempted to interpret the heavens, make sense of astronomical events, and visualize his terrestrial world, the solar system, and beyond to cosmological scales including the conceptual voyage to the Planck Scale. Space art began with an image of what we could expect to be "out there" in a space environment.
Artists have been at the forefront of space exploration since its beginnings. They have documented, in the media and style of their choice, the wonders of what it might look like in the nearby neighborhood of our Milky Way Galaxy. Space travel has enabled mankind to step briefly into the cosmos and through his ability to create images, has made the heavens accessible for all of us. It is one thing to describe another world in terms of written language, such as the case for studying documents from various historical and analytical sources. But to "know" another world, as if to see it with ones own eyes, is the goal of the space artist, who offers us a stepping stone into the stream of stars.
