Astronomy Inspired Design in Media: Part 25
Warframe (2025)
Warframe has been running for over a decade now, but this is specifically from the "The Old Peace" release
It is commonly known as the "ninjas-in-space" game, but I have always been fond of its extremely weird and very busy art style. This particular part of the trailer caught my attention. It shows a moving ceiling with a clear astronomy-based design
Very beautiful, but also, very clearly inspired by astrolabes (which appears to be a common source of inspiration). You can compare it to this 1558 astrolabe (in Latin)
At some point I think this series should just be "astrolabe inspired design"
