Otherworlds at the Natural History Museum takes visitors on a visual journey through space

A new exhibition at the Natural History Museum will allow visitors to embark on a metaphorical journey through space.

Otherworlds: Visions of our Solar System is a space photography exhibition comprising 77 images of the planets, moons, asteroids and comets that make up our solar system.

The images have been obtained via remote sensing: the mapping of planets by satellite.

It also features original music by Brian Eno, friend and frequent collaborator of the late David Bowie.

The exhibition has been created by artist and writer Michael Benson, who said, “It’s a retrospective look at the visual legacy of six decades of space exploration.

“I’m making the case that the visual legacy of that fantastic story belongs to photography, it belongs to the arts as much as to science.

“This show would have been inconceivable without big science.”

The exhibition runs between 22^nd January and the 15^th May 2016. It’s free for members and the under fours, but otherwise tickets cost £9.90.
