A series of photos and images created by students and employees at the University of Texas at Austin attempts to celebrate the "extraordinary beauty of science and the scientific process."

About 40 students, faculty and staff submitted more than 90 images in the university's College of Natural Sciences submitted entries for "Visualizing Science 2014: Beautiful Images From College Research."

"We were looking for that moment where science and art collide and we succeeded," Steven Franklin, the college's marketing coordinator, wrote on the college's website.

A committee chose six images based on their beauty and scientific merit. Those images were put on display in September in the University of Texas Tower, Welch Hall and the Kuehne Physics Mathematics Astronomy Library in Robert Lee Moore Hall.

Voters on the college's Facebook page selected a People's Choice winner.

Scroll through the slideshow to see the winning images along with other submissions.
