Megan Garber, a tech blogger for The Atlantic created this photo set that encourages viewers to guess as to whether the supplied images were taken from space or whether they’re actually works of modern art created by prolific earthling artists. Love the idea behind this post almost as much as I relish in the spaces between science and art. Check out the entire set here. Thanks for the share Hanna!
