Experience the Planets

EXPERIENCE THE PLANETS is a stunning collective art project that aims to "illustrate [the planets'] wonders, weaving art and science together."

Here are some of the great HD wallpapers they offer.

From the Project Page:

The cornerstone of ETP is its process, which holds each artist responsible for understanding and representing the science behind their work. Combining research with creative exploration and fact-based critique, the ETP community strives to make every piece an artist produces the best they’ve ever done.

5 - The Earth - Overview Effect

The original Blue Marble photo (to the right) is 40 years old now. I find it and this video extremely moving and oddly comforting.

3 - The Known Universe

From the American Museum of Natural History:

"The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010. "

2 - Solar Walk - The Stars in Your Hand

It's no secret that I like apps (see here), and I am know to wax rhapsodic about them. But this one I am so excited by. It is a powerful, gorgeous 3D model of space on your iPhone or iPad. It's called Solar Walk. 

What do you think? Am I right?
