How are astronomical illustrations made?

You’ve probably seen artist’s illustrations of the cosmos, but how are they made, and why? Besides stunning images, telescopes also capture more complex data that can be hard to interpret by non-astronomers. In this episode of Chasing Starlight we show you how astronomers, artists and communicators work together to translate astronomical data into visuals that are both stunning and scientifically accurate.
