If you like progressive rock in the mold of Pink Floyd, early Genesis, Gentle Giant, Spock's Beard, Yes, and others, you might like the new album from Steven Wilson called The Overview. The subject matter is the overview effect astronauts experience. The title track lyrics list the size and names of many objects a bunch of here have photographed, so I thought that track might be interesting:

In keeping with grand prog rock traditions, there are only two songs on the album. The other one, Objects Outlive Us, explores similar themes and it just an outstanding piece of art.

Thank you, as a musician and old prog-rock fan I'll surely give it a listen.

***I got to listen to him a few months ago and I've been enjoying him as a speaker more than anything, particularly when he talks about Dolby Atmos.
I'm very passionate about tech in general thanks to my late dad, he kind of made me a fan of Sony tech, and when it comes to audio, it's strange, but so many people forget how many (like truly) new innovations they brought to the table, but anyway, that aside, I first listened to Atmos thanks to a friend with TIDAL and, yep, it's amazing, but you do have to have a proper setup or at least some very good headphones.***
