Week 9 | Space + Art
The relationship between space and art has always been one of the topics that I am the most interested in throughout this course. I have attended three art events in which many of the artists made amazing works of art inspired by space and the night sky. Some of the most notable works of art that I have seen so far that show the beautiful relationship between space and art is the art that has been made of the Golden Record, photography of the night sky and constellations, and artwork of astronauts.

I found it interesting when Professor Vesna was talking about how from the beginning of time we have been fascinated by space and everything in it. The lecture really helped me see how complex and beautiful space really is, and how there has been so much for us to learn. [Figure 2.] Photograph of a Comet The lec
