Illustrating the Universe – Danielle Futselaar
20 March 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm UTC+0
Abstract
An astronomical publication reads much more pleasantly with some pictures. A picture of Jupiter or the Andromeda Galaxy for example. But what about subjects of which there are no pictures? Think of an exoplanet or an interstellar comet, or a phenomenon discovered by radio telescope. Then ‘artist impressions’ bring salvation.
