About the Artist
NASA Ames, the SETI Institute, and JPL Caltech are renowned for their pioneering work in space exploration and public science outreach. Their collaborations have produced not only groundbreaking research but also imaginative visual materials that translate complex discoveries into accessible, inspiring images. These organizations bridge the gap between advanced astronomy and public engagement, using design to make distant worlds feel tangible.
This print is part of their ongoing effort to spark curiosity and wonder about our universe, inviting viewers to envision what lies beyond our solar system.
The Artwork

Style & Characteristics
This poster features two astronauts in white suits walking through a striking field of red grass, set against a dramatic alien landscape. The dominant red tones of the ground are balanced by subtle green accents and a softly glowing sky, creating a sense of both realism and otherworldly wonder. The composition is cinematic and expansive, using clean lines and a modern illustrative style reminiscent of classic travel posters.
The overall mood is adventurous and optimistic, with a polished finish that makes it visually compelling from any distance.
In Interior Design
This space poster serves as a bold focal point in contemporary interiors, especially in home offices, studios, or living rooms seeking a touch of scientific inspiration. Its vivid red palette stands out beautifully against neutral or dark backgrounds, and it pairs well with minimalist frames.
Consider combining it with other red toned prints or favorites from our exploration collections to create a gallery wall that celebrates curiosity and discovery.
