This was theme was also discussed in 2010  -

ect.html#2337

The 1998 Oberhausen Short Film festival's special programme Useful Images
(curated by Fred Truniger) engaged with these issues in some depth. Full
details are in the catalogue.

Best Wishes

Dear Frameworks,

Re. films about or evocative of physics or astronomy. Jim Davis¹s films are
suggestive of cosmic genesis, plasma energy, or ³liquid² light, with waves
of color.  Especially Color Dances (1952), Becoming (1955), Energies (1957),
Impulses (1959). For more on Davis and his often abstract cinema see my
forthcoming book ³Dancing With Light² (Anthology Film Archives, 2012). -R.

 A few things that popped into my head:
 
 Christine Negus - For, Like Ever
 Penny Lane - Voyagers
 Ben Popp - Lazslo Lassu
 Makino Takashi - Intimate Stars, still in cosmos, many others
 
 These each have pretty tangential/tenuous/(in)terpretive connections to
 space, science and stars but are each interesting and might add texture to a
 program.

 Jean Painleve certainly comes to mind.  And the Eameses.
 
 In a less rigidly scientific vein:
 
 Courtney Hoskins has a series of abstract films based on the Gallilean
 satellites:

 Stellar (Stan Brakhage)
 Crystals (1951)  Micro 2 (1952) (Elwood Decker)

 The Man Who Could Not See Far Enough (Peter Rose)
 ...These Blazeing Starrs! (Deborah Stratman)
