Pictures of space inspire awe and curiosity, connecting us to the wider Universe around us. Dr. Allison Strom, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University, will show how raw telescope data is transformed into stunning images and discuss the techniques used by astronomers to capture and process data from various telescopes, both on Earth and in space.
Key questions include: How do these images get from the stars to our screens? Are the colors we see real? What do these pictures tell us about the cosmos? By understanding the science and art behind these images, we gain a deeper appreciation for the Universe's beauty and complexity.
