The US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is not only full of scientists but, also artistic dreamers and thinkers, who once again stormed the internet with the release of new space tourism posters.

These artists were behind the Exoplanet Travel Bureau poster series published last year. After its success, they are now releasing a more extensive run of posters, The Verge reported on Tuesday.

The new series known as Visions of the Future includes beautiful takes on Europa, Venus, and even Earth. The first three posters of the series were published on Tuesday.

The artists work in a studio formed about 13 years ago at NASA's jet propulsion laboratory (JPL).

The JPL design team works closely with NASA scientists and engineers, and is in tune with the latest discoveries and biggest mysteries of our solar system.

This proximity allows the artists to come up with a poster theme that revolves around planetary exploration easily.

"Each new poster mixes a bit of that reality, with an optimistic take on what our solar system might actually look like someday," the report said.

For example, while the poster for Venus calls for visitors to come see the Cloud 9 Observatory, the poster for Europa advertises the ability to see underwater life -- something that does not feel so far-fetched, considering the moon is home to a global sub-surface ocean, the report added.

All 14 posters -- including the Exoplanet series -- are now available for download on the JPL website.
