Here's What Space Actually Looks Like to the Human Eye

Photos of space are everywhere online. Their beauty is dazzling, showing a universe awash in color and light. But if you're a skeptic, you've likely wondered whether it all truly looks like that in real life. Michael Benson tries his best to show you in his exhibition Otherworlds: Visions of Our Solar System. The artist took data from NASA and ESA missions to make 77 images of everything from Pluto to Europa that approximate true color as much as humanly possible. The work spans five decades of space exploration, and presents a realistic, flyby tour of the universe.
