“The Archeology of the Night Sky: Star-Gazing from the Renaissance to Now”
Kerry Magruder, Curator, and Brent Purkaple, Graduate Assistant, History of Science Collections, OU Libraries
Our view of the night sky is filtered through many layers of cultural heritage and representation. In this richly illustrated presentation, Dr. Magruder and his assistant will examine images of the constellations from star atlases and other historical sources, to discover how the wonder of the sky at night is common to science, literature, and art. They will also show how to access these images for your own creative, educational, or research-related projects, through the unveiling of The Sky Tonight website (skytonight.org).
