The vast expanse beyond Earth’s atmosphere contains celestial bodies, including planets, stars, and galaxies, many of which are visible to the naked eye. It is also home to countless meteors and comets that occasionally come into human view as they streak across the sky. Outer space is often the subject of science fiction books, movies, television shows, and stage performances.
Since the beginning of time, space has captured our collective imaginations. First civilizations, such as the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians, studied the stars and constellations, and many of their religious ceremonies were based on the celestial movements throughout the year. Sailors use the stars to navigate, and farmers use the stars to track the seasons and predict weather patterns for planting and harvesting. Young children (and older believers as well) wish upon a star when it streaks across the sky at night. And millions of humans marvel at solar and lunar eclipses, taking millions of pictures of sunrises and sunsets.
As a species, this last frontier remains the focus of many of our stories. Theatrical productions and dance performances often feature an out-of-this-world theme, with stars, planets, galaxies, and the vastness of space as their setting.
Let’s explore some of the more than 25 space-themed backdrops available at Backdrops by Charles H. Stewart.
Night Sky & Stars
Looking to the stars is a favorite pastime for many, including many scenes in famous theatrical performances such as the star-crossed lovers in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet or the 1950s production of Peter Pan, where Peter and Wendy fly among the stars.
