Title: Science in Art, Science as Art
Abstract:
At times artistic works are inspired by science and the natural world. At times scientific images are themselves art. And at times, scientific techniques can be used to discover interesting aspects of artistic works. From van Gogh to the most recent NASA planetary missions, science and art are often related, especially in the science of astronomy. The universe is a beautiful place, worthy of fine art. Come see the science and the artistic beauty of the skies with your own eyes.
