ars astronautica

ars astronautica is a website that was launched in December 2008 by Arthur Woods. The site is focused on space art. It includes exhibitions, space art projects, image and video galleries, a website gallery and a blog. Woods uses the site to document his own activities as well as developments in the field of space art. He says, 

"Our current civilization has reached the carrying capacity of the planet and will soon need to turn to extraterrestrial resources to meet the human needs on Earth. Space artists will have a major role to play as this development unfolds."

This website was different than anything I have ever seen. I had never even heard of space art until I stumbled across this. The projects were really unique as well. One of the project was called O.U.R.S. This project created a ring satellite to orbit in order to create a "circle in the sky." It was meant to celebrate the advent of the new millennium. This among many other interesting space art projects are described on this site.
