At first glance you may think these are the latest images beamed from the Hubble Space Telescope. In fact, they’re the work of photographer Navid Baraty and they’re created using just a handful of different foods.
Space–obsessed Baraty, who's worked and exhibited all over the world, creates his food art by mixing liquids in a glass or tray and then placing them on top of dry ingredients layered on different sheets of glass on a scanner to create the desired effect. He told Buzzfeed: “The liquids naturally create the shapes and swirls that you see in the images when they mix ... I was pretty amazed at how realistic I could make nebulas and planets look.”

We think you'll agree, it's all pretty out of this world. The project, which is ongoing, is called Wanderprobe and you can see loads more over on Instagram and on his website.
