A surreal retro-futuristic cosmic artwork showcasing a giant ornate astrolabe suspended above an endless celestial ocean, its polished golden mechanism glowing softly against a backdrop of swirling indigo and teal nebulae. Rings of the astrolabe intricately rotate around a crystalline core, mapping trajectories of tiny orbiting planets and geometric structures illuminated by internal turquoise energy. Beneath this structure, serene metallic waves gently ripple, reflecting constellations and distant galaxies. In the foreground, hooded scholars atop elegant chrome hovercrafts calmly glide across the reflective waters, consulting floating holographic charts of cosmic patterns emanating from their fingertips. Render the complete scene using expansive cinematic perspective, subtle airbrush detailing, deep retro color contrasts between warm gold and cool indigo hues, and ambient cosmic lighting characteristic of vintage mid-20th-century surrealist sci-fi illustrations. <lora:retro-futurist-cosmic-surrealism-flux:0.75>
