What is Nova Celestia?
Nova Celestia is the name of this web site. Here you can find my astronomical illustrations and space art, portraying the universe, along with astronomical information.
"Nova" is a word from latin, which means new, and "Celestia" means sky or heaven. I gave this web site this particular name,
because I want to show how the universe looks like from other heavens and not just from earth!
Note Nova Celestia is NOT to be mixed up with the software Celestia!

Can I use your images on my web site?
The images are FREE to use, as long as they are not somehow changed (resizing allowed). Please link back to Nova Celestia (a polite request).
The images are not allowed for the use of gamedevelopers.

Why are the images FREE to use?
I do not do astronomical or space art professionally. It is merely a hobby of mine, though admittedly a serious one. The art is a way for me to channel my creativity, and if people have use for it, then I would be very happy! Though my art will continue regardless if people find it useful or not.
You do NOT need to contact me to ask for permission.
This web site is also a way for me to test some fundamental principles of web design, which is my primary goal with this web site. To top
When will the gallery be complete?
I was hoping to complete it before the end of this year, but seeing how much time and work I have to put into this, it may take as long as till the end of this year. University will be taking much of my time soon too. This site will have more than 100 pages, filled with astronomical information and space art when it's complete!

What is your education?
I am in soon in my final year of the Multimedia Engineering programme at the University of Lund, Sweden. It is a program where you learn things such as graphical design, web design, animation, 3D modelling, sound editing, among many other things and gives a B.S.C. degree.
I have been active as an amateur astronomer since the past 12 years and have collected a broad astronomical basis by the years.

May I hotlink to your images?
Though I cannot completely stop you from doing this, I would prefer that you upload the image on your web server and put a link to my site instead.
Please, See below.
Placing a direct link to my images would drain my site from bandwidth.
