Astronomical Art is a means in which visual artists can merge the science of astronomy with art. It isn't merely depicting a starry landscape with planets but also trying to combine actual data to give an accurate representation. Some artists choose to call "space art" paintings with a spaceship of some sort. Often, you would see artist impressions on the covers of astronomy magazines or books. That's because astronomical art has the advantage of going beyond the visual wavelengths.
Here are some of my latest works mostly done with acrylic:
