Delineating the Constellations
Delineating the Constellations to Simplify Astronomy for the Average Man
Clayton Pond
Serigraph on paper
1980-81
This fanciful pop art-style print depicts a spacewalking astronaut outside the Space Shuttle's open payload bay doors. Clad in a Gemini-type spacesuit and tethered to the shuttle by umbilical cords, the astronaut appears to be linking stars to create familiar constellations.
