Artist Greg Martin has put together a really fantastic website called Experience the Planets which is devoted to art dealing with the planets in our solar system. The site has some really beautiful pieces by several talented artists – the one above is Mercury by Greg Martin himself, for instance – and is incredibly well designed.
Rather than presenting more fantasy-based imagery one often sees in this context, these pieces are rooted in science, yet that fact does nothing to diminish these breathtaking works.
Thanks to Michael Dowswell for the tip.
Wow !! This is totally awesome !!
I’m speechless.
And the ambient music, wow, I love every single part of this website. Thanks for pointing it out, Steve.
Yup, the music got me, too… I’m trying to find a hi-res version of the music. Pursuing…
