Spaceflight technology provided humanity the first opportunity to look back at the Earth from space rather than out into space from Earth. This new perspective enabled everyone, not just those with a lifetime of physics and math study, to have a better understanding of our world. The Cosmic Art collections are created from the same idea – using physics to enable new perspectives so that everyone can better appreciate the wonders within our universe.
Cosmic Art reframes Cosmic Studio’s leading scientific advancements in plasma physics as art to provide a unique and unexpected view of the Earth. Each image is the direct result of software that provides our first accurate window into plasma dynamics in complex magnetic fields. The same tool is used by the ICON and COSMIC-2 satellites for science.
All images have been calculated at high resolution and use colors that ensure accurate and accessible representations. Click on ‘Select Options’ to get a short written description of each piece
This collection celebrates solving the physically impossible, the creation of a vector basis and associated coordinate system suitable for calculating plasma physics in complex magnetic fields. This scientific achievement not only provides a foundation for the next generation of plasma physics models, measurements, and understanding, but makes it possible for everyone to appreciate this unseen wonder in our universe.
There is nothing like the view from the top of the world. These images offer us a glimpse of the Earth that plasma experiences at the apex, the highest point along a geomagnetic field line.
