Perhaps well known, but if you're looking for amazing wall art, the NASA Exoplanet series is fantastic (exoplanets.nasa.gov)

This is a poster series in a retro style. They look fantastic in large prints. The space telescope series is also on the page. I personally adore the JWST poster and have a large print of it in canvas form: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/2294/james-webb-space-telescope-poster/?layout=magic_shell&travel_bureau=true&cid=4,travel_bureau_missions

These are awesome, thanks for sharing!

Now I just need to find a place that can print these posters in a good quality

@CoderKat where did you get your canvas printed?

Edit: Is there a way to mention users like on Reddit?

I personally just used Walmart's photo center, simply because it was cheapest and they had a convenience online tool and delivered to my door. But for the canvas prints, I had to make minor edits to stretch the edges, since the canvas has wrap around (and I didn't want a plain white edge). That's not an issue if not using a canvas format.

You might be able to get higher quality from other printers, though at a higher price. I did try some other possible printer that would have avoided the need to edit the images (they had a mirror option for the canvas wrapping), but it was significantly more expensive, so I didn't do that.

Also, I think @user@domain, but I don't know if it notifies the user yet.
