The numerous encounters in space have resulted in
the discovery of facts that overwhelms normal human reasoning capabilities.
Therefore, there has been the need to establish the reality checks to increase
the understanding of the universe hence gaining an adequate understanding of
the space. Art has therefore helped in the generation of ideas to determine the
exact size of objects in relation to space and it is currently being applied in
the experimental territory to produce subjective images (Brianholmes).
The use of art in technology development has further been accelerated through
sustainable developments and scientific training (Arctic perspective).
Similarly, the artistic application in the technological field and space
exploration has further been influenced through cultural dimension training
(Leonardo).
The following image illustrates the use of art in
understanding various objects through several views and dimensions. For
instance, two faces can be observed as well as a verse from the same image.
Figure 1 (Power of ten)
Similarly, the following image shows Fomalhaut
together with a Jupiter-type planet that is 200 million years old. It has been
produced artistically using 10+08. Therefore, the artistic
impressions and ideas are essential in helping the astronauts express the
complex space ideas using the power of ten techniques.
Figure 2 (Hubble Space Telescope)
The same idea has also been employed in the
following image whereby numerous colors are used artistically to indicate color
changes using light and a wavelength of approximately represent 680 and 720
nanometers, which can equally be represented as 10-08 meters (Power
of Ten).
Figure 3 (HDWallPapersFan.com)
The above images show how the arts can be used to
offer new dimensions in the space exploration based on the power of ten
techniques. According to Morrison and Morrison (37), the understanding
of complex facts like light years and the microscopic realms of an atom have
therefore been simplified through the application of arts in space exploration.
