What is Space Art?
Space Art is an artistic genre that depicts the cosmic elements of the universe, including celestial bodies, interstellar space, and space exploration. It began in 1865 with the first science-based illustrations by A. de Neuville and Emile Bayard in Jules Verne’s novel From the Earth to the Moon. Space Art has since evolved to include various forms of visual art inspired by astronomical discoveries and the human imagination, playing a key role in visualizing the wonders of space.
