Cosmic Microscapes is a unique art project that marries art and science to reveal the spectacular beauty of meteorites. These images represent real objects from space – small pieces of the Moon, Mars, and asteroids.

These thumbnail-sized landscapes are captured on a custom designed micro-imaging system combining up to 600 images to produce a staggeringly high resolution "microscape," which can be printed up to 30 feet wide, 40 thousand times original size.

Rendered without alteration, Cosmic Microscapes are completely natural and documentary in the extreme, yet wonderfully abstract.
