For centuries, astronomy and art have been woven together through the production of images and artistic representations to communicate scientific results. Artist Casey McGuire and astronomer Nick Sterling will explore this relationship, from William Herschel’s photographs of the Moon and Percival Lowell’s false discovery of canals on Mars, to modern images from the world’s most powerful telescope.
