Default Space art and knowledge

If space art represents itself as scientifically accurate, and it isn't,
that's not a good thing. If it is clearly fantasy, there's nothing wrong
with that. Personally, I do find it kind of jarring to see space art
that has elements that are _obviously_ unreal, however. Your images
aren't in that category (except for showing galaxies and nebulas as
colorful, but that's an exaggeration I don't find unreasonable-
grayscale skies would get kind of boring after a while).


I thought the images looked very nice, especially this one:

(where would space art be without Saturn?)
Nicest part though was a complete lack of any dolphins or whales in the
images, a thing that got way too popular a few years back:
