Exploring The Universe: The Art of Space

by Carl Scott Harker

In this book you will discover some of the natural beauty of the Universe – Space Art created by gravity and matter and illuminated by the light and energy of our sun and the stars beyond. This book reveals what we are finding as we explore the Universe, starting with our solar system, then outward to distances millions of light years away – the beauty of space is astounding astronomers and non-scientists alike. Through the use of instruments such as the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have captured the colorful art that space itself creates in the gases and dust and light of stars. Come take a look at some planets in our solar system, and planets in other star systems as rendered by artists using data gathered by astronomers. And then discover more faraway stars and galaxies and the space they inhabit. Through the images in this book, let your imagination soar as you visit the Horsehead Nebula, a Rogue Star, the Pillars of Creation as well as areas of space where stars are being born and much more. So come and explore a bit of the Universe beyond our planet's skies and enjoy the art of space. And if you are so inclined, why not create some new art of your own, here on Earth?
