We will never see it the same way

 




We will never see space the same way after this summer when the James Webb Space Telescope brings in focused images. The bell of our imagination will have been rung. It with this urgency that artistic expression needs to be put forward. It is useful for the mind to wander and mull over what we desire to see in deep space -- not necessarily what is anticipated.
What if space is ugly? What if it doesn't obey the beautification attempts of the "touched up" images we are commonly fed? What if objects are not all round and controlled by gravity? What if there is a giant cereal box floating in deep space?
Here are a couple of my homages to the space of my imagination. Enjoy the shift in history.
