Pluto Flyby Already Inspiring Artists

As the probe whizzes past, paint is already being dabbed, splattered and scumbled. The Pluto flyby is astounding everyone including artists.

Painting influenced by scientific discoveries has a long history we should explore some more one day here on Symbiartic. For now, here are a few works of #sciart that really stood out to me on Twitter, marking this historic event and the images from the NASA team and the New Horizons probe.
