Hi,
Something I was wondering about lately is how space art is perceived by
those who are knowledgeable about astronomy and space in general. How do
you perceive space art that does not accurately represent the current
astronomical knowledge? Good, bad?
Depends on how it is portrayed within context and on the intent of the
artist. *Some of the more imaginitive stuff is very thought provoking,
but has little place in a science textbook. *Science textbooks,
however, aren't the only works of value.

Our science textbooks are absolutely chuck full of mainstream status
quo infomercials, hype and butt loads of eye-candy as is. What parts
would you like to see changed, such as for their becoming more
informative and truthworthy?
