The artwork draws inspiration from the phrase “where the nightlife never ends,” reflecting the eternal journey of a rogue planet adrift without a star. The piece is steeped in the sophistication of 1930s art deco, embodying a blend of vintage allure and futuristic fantasy, while also nodding to the scientific underpinnings of such a celestial nomad.
This print is from the NASA/JPL exoplanet travel posters. They were inspired by the charm and style of vintage WPA national park posters, evoking a nostalgic, retro-future sentiment. JPL’s vision was to blend the allure of space exploration with the artistic heritage of the past, emphasizing the scientific intrigue of these celestial bodies. Each poster is crafted to highlight unique features of distant worlds and solar system destinations. The project aimed to ignite the public’s imagination about the edges of possibility.
