Visual Study Of Western Astronomical Images

Before the production of words,images performed the function of recording,but they were more direct and visual than words.When people explored the mysterious universe in ancient times,the most intuitive way was to copy the scene they saw as much as they could.However,images not only had the function of recording,but also transmitted a lot of information outside the object.In the context of the development from astrological map to astronomical photography,the original intention of astronomical image may not be aesthetic purpose,but as a use in the field of mystics and science.However,whether it is an astronomical illustration or astronomical photography,it has been integrated into people’s aesthetic orientation in the production process,While conveying astronomical knowledge,illustrators who draw astronomical illustrations have a very subjective integration of aesthetic taste,presenting exquisite and practical illustrations.The shooting method of digital astronomical photography may be different from that we imagine.The information received by scientists is not pictures,but some data,The telescope lens can recognize more colors than the human eye can see.They need to use the transmitted data to synthesize the photos we see.The reason why the photos we see are so colorful is that the team returns the original photos by combining technology and art.Some art historians believe that when the team processes these photos,Consciously or unconsciously influenced by some romantic paintings,it has formed a unique aesthetic tendency,so an astronomical image itself can be classified as the product of the combination of art and science.There is no doubt that the visual experience and aesthetic feeling brought by astronomical images are universal.Astronomy and its pictures are changing in an unprecedented way.They are gradually regarded as aesthetic objects and bring people rich and unique visual experience.
