    This looks great! I love the idea, and the titling looks superb.

    I have some suggestions for the back cover, but let's work on the front cover first. I have two questions about the front:

    1. It's a bit dark. Is there a way to make things brighter without losing detail or making it look washed out?

    2. I love the look of the front & back spread, but it loses a little impact when the front cover is viewed alone. I'm not sure what could be done about this though...?

    Thanks for your work on this. I'm eager to see future versions!

    Revision. I apply a subtle orange color over the planet...
    I changed the color on fonts to combine with the tone of the page.
    Besides that its the same design. Don't know if adding some star
    add more impact in the front.

    I'm removing #48-50 now that #54 is up.

    I like the addition of the stars behind the title.

    I'm unsure about the orange color. Could we try a subtle addition of white instead, or wouldn't that work?

    Also, I hope you don't mind if I suggest a series of small changes, rather than one big list. If I knew more about design, I'd have a better idea of what I want, but that's not the case...

    I like #56. The problem is that this picture of Jupiter uses artificial colors (it's an infrared composite). I'm keeping it for now, but I'm still thinking about this.

    #58 is beautiful, but I'm unsure if it conveys the proper message. It's obviously a space theme, but the viewer might think it's a science fiction video rather than a science video.

    So far, #48/54 are my favorites.

    Don't hesitate in suggest any ideas or changes, all feedback to improve design is highly welcome!
    Im not sure if adding white will be a good idea. Adding white to black with gradient
    tends to looks pail or washed out. Besides, Don't know if white is well related to "space" but I'll try.

    In this version, I adjusted the brightness/contrast of the image
    trying to make a more vibrant image.
