In these fantastic images you can see Mars and its moons , an amazing nebula and even the surface of a mysterious world covered in water . Or can you ? These might look like pictures of space at first , but they ’ re actually just shots of glasses of water and food in a photocopier . The amazing photography trick was performed by 34-year-old freelance photographer Navid Baraty from New York . New York photographer Navid Baraty has created fictional images of space using ingredients found in the kitchen . Shown is a 'spiral galaxy ' , made with baking soda , curry powder , chalk , salt , sugar and cinnamon . The project follows an imaginary spacecraft called Wander - Wormhole-Accelerated Nomad Delivering Reconnaissance - which you can follow on Instagram , Facebook or his website . In the images he used common kitchen ingredients to make the cosmic images . - Glass containing water and food colouring . - Salt , cinnamon , baking powder . - Cat fur , cumin , tumeric . - Coffee , corn starch , butter . He told MailOnline that the images were made by placing objects on an Epson photo scanner and then doing a scan with the lid open . He then partially filled glasses with liquids and put food colouring in them in order to create shapes and swirls . The stars and other points of light , meanwhile , are made by sprinkling spices such as cinnamon on the scanner glass . ‘ I 've had a fascination with space ever since I was a kid camping in the backyard and looking at the stars through my childhood telescope , ’ he said . ‘ When I see the cosmos through photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and other spacecraft , I ’ m often left without words . ‘ When I look at the night sky , I ’ m captivated by its mystery and its unknowns . I think the awe and wonder of space ignites our innate curiosity as humans. ’ This Mars-lke planet consists of the bottom of a glass containing half and half , water and food colouring . Moons at the bottom of a glass contain coconut milk , wate and food colouring . The stars are salt , cinnamon , baking powder and tums . All the images were taken in a photocopier . Here we see a nebula with gas streams - but it is actually cat fur , garlic powder , salt , flour , cumin and turmeric , according to Mr Baraty . This planet consists of the bottom of a glass with half and half milk , water and food colouring . The starts are salt , cinnamon and baking powder . A distant galaxy ? No , thi is olive oil , sesame oil , water , cumin , cinnamon and flour in a photocopier . Some of the glasses use just water , and others use a mixture of coconut milky as well . One of the nebulas was created using cat fur , garlic powder , salt , flour , cumin and turmeric . And Mr Baraty says he intends to continue take the photos , so people can keep following the fictional progress of the Wander probe . ‘ I thought it would be fun and exciting to frame the project around the idea of this imaginary spacecraft roaming around the universe taking photos of its encounters , ’ he said . Baking soda , salt , sugar , curry powder and cinnamon were used to make this 'globular cluster ' This nebula is a mixture of makeup , olive oil , chalk , baby powder , salt and water . This icy planet consists of the bottom of a glass containing half and half , water and food colouring . The moons are silica gel and food colouring , while the stars are made of sugar , cinnamon and cumin . This supercluster is made of flour , sugar , salt , olive oil , cumin , turmeric , cinnamon , curry , garlic powder and water . ‘ I had a whole story going for a while of how I was selected to be the lead image processor for the Wander mission since I 'm a photographer but have a degree in engineering and that this was a real spacecraft out there taking images . ‘ A lot of people actually thought it was reall ! Eventually I decided to tell people how I really make the images and that Wander is entirely fictional. ’ He added : ‘ I 'd like people to look at these images and think could my fictional creation of a planet or moon or galaxy actually exist somewhere in our universe or possibly even beyond ? ‘ I 'd like for the imaginary explorations of Wander to inspire others about the cosmos and actual space exploration. ’ This ghostly anomaly is made of butter , food colouring and salt . The bottom of a glass of coffee here looks a bit like a black hole , together with salt , sugar , corn starch and cinnamon . This planet in deep space is two glasses containing half and half , coconut milk , water and food colouring .
New York photographer Navid Baraty has created fictional images of space using ingredients found in the kitchen . They appear to show planets and nebulae in the universe , but they are actually glasses of water and spices . He used a photocopier to capture the replica images of the cosmos as part of the Wander Probe Probe project . ‘ I 'd like for the imaginary explorations of Wander Probe to inspire others about the cosmos , ' he told MailOnline .
