I picked up this book at a sleepy little thrift store on my way out of Mammoth last summer. I think it was a school astronomy textbook! I was always enamored by the creativity and vision that artists had to have when doing the paintings/renderings of planets they didn't have the technological means of seeing. Now with amazingly detailed photos sent by space stations and rovers, as well as with the advanced digital renderings these to me are a lost art. The power of imagination is incredible and so I still find value in these old images.
