Exhibit: Visualizing the Cosmos

Visualizing the Cosmos exhibit poster

Visit the new Posner Center exhibit, "Visualizing the Cosmos," created by Pierce Williams, Posner Center intern and PhD candidate in the Department of English.

The exhibit considers strategies shared by the arts, humanities, and sciences for visualizing invisible things in order to better understand them. Reaching back to Galileo’s sunspot engravings from the early seventeenth century, and forward to the aesthetic choices of scientists rendering images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the exhibit showcases visualizations in print, pixel and paint by great minds of the last five hundred years.

Exhibit hours are 1-4 pm, Monday through Friday or by appointment, 412-268-7680.
