The great philosopher Plato once said that astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another.

How fitting then, that the artist behind today's piece also goes by the name Plato, and also shares a similar fondness for the stars...

Take a look at Have Spacesuit, Will Travel by Plato, otherwise known to us as reader Jan van de Klooster. We think that Jan did an excellent job of using perspective to draw you into the piece – you can't help but look up at the approaching ships and planets in the distance.

Jan's portfolio is packed with other great sci-fi pieces – click here to see more.
