Description
This is my contribution to this year's Desktopography collection.
You can download various different sizes of this wallpaper here: www.desktopography.net/exhibit…

As the title suggests the idea behind this work is to depict what it would be like to explore a nebula firsthand.
Nebulae can form for instance as remnants of supernovae and are known to be made up of various types of gas clouds. The nebula closest to Earth at the moment is the Orion nebula. But with more than a thousand lightyears distance to Earth it is very unlikely that we will ever be able to witness this spectacle of nature in this manner for ourselves. Unfortunately!

I thank wolfworx and dmaland for the excellent resources!

This is also included in my new Space Art calendar 2015, check it out
