The Art of the Cosmos by Jim Bell

The Art of the Cosmos by Jim Bell

Hundreds of deep space missions since the 1960s have captured stunning photographs of the cosmos. Many of these scientific images can also be classified as art. This book highlights more than 100 examples, revealing the splendor of our universe

“Breathtaking images, accompanied by Bell’s scientific notes and comments on artistic techniques, make this an attractive choice for art, photography, and science collections” —Library Journal

“The Art of the Cosmos is … a celebration of the beauty of the cosmos, and a reminder that art and science are not distinct but, rather, intertwined.”  —The Space Review
