This collection contains 6 paintings of astronomical art created by scientist and artist William K. Hartmann as well as Chesley Bonestell, Ron Miller, and Vladimir A. Vaiman. Some of the artwork envisions planetary travel and planetary environments prior to the availability of photographic and other scientific data. The painting by Ron Miller, for instance, used photographic/scientific evidence in his painting. These works were inspired by the deserts in the American Southwest, Pacific Rim lava fields, and other landscapes on earth.
