The Art of the Cosmos

Visions from the Frontier of Deep-Space Exploration

Jim Bell

Description

This book highlights more than 100 examples from deep space missions since the 1960s, revealing the splendour of our universe. It is a gallery of human accomplishment that celebrates the scientists and engineers who push civilization – including the ways that we produce and experience art – beyond the physical limits of our planet.

The photographs represent some of the finest examples of the art of deep space exploration, most of them involving high-tech robotic emissaries. The images are loosely organized by distance from the Earth, so that readers will slowly travel on a journey farther and farther away from home, ultimately voyaging out to vistas of the farthest-known places in the universe.
