A pixel art scene depicting a massive ocean wave crashing towards a sandy shore under a partly cloudy sky. The wave has deep blue and green hues, with foamy white highlights. Two astronauts in full space suits are present on the beach; one stands near a pile of dark rocks, while the other appears to be running or reaching out. The surreal composition combines elements of space exploration with an earthly oceanic setting, creating a dreamlike or sci-fi atmosphere.
