This stunning artwork captures the historic 1974 Venus flyby by NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft, meticulously recreated by acclaimed digital artist Tobias Roetsch.

Hanging this piece on your wall isn't just decorating-it's preserving a pivotal moment in humanity's journey to understand our cosmic neighborhood.

The Story Behind the Image

As Mariner 10 sped away from Venus in February 1974, it captured groundbreaking images of our neighboring planet wrapped in its mysterious cloud layer. This mission marked the first-ever spacecraft to use gravity assist to visit multiple planets, forever changing how we explore space.

Tobias Roetsch has masterfully recreated this historic encounter, blending scientific accuracy with artistic vision. This artwork is part of his series commemorating the pioneering missions that first revealed our solar system's secrets-a perfect balance of scientific significance and aesthetic beauty.

This is a new series with a historical journey through the solar system. Above all, I wanted to create a small memento of the beginning of space missions and have recreated NASA's early space probes using old pictures and information. We are at Venus now with Mariner 10 again.
