First Light: Photography & Astronomy

Vendredi 03 Août 2012 15:13:22 par actuphoto dans Expositions

Expositions du 7/3/2010 au 30/5/2010 Terminé

Huis Marseille Keizersgracht 401,The Netherlands 1016 EK Amsterdam Pays-Bas

The exhibition will be opened on Saturday 6 March 2010 (from 5 to 7 pm) by Prof. Dr. Huib Henrichs, professor of astronomy at the VU University Amsterdam and the Astronomical Institute Anton Pannekoek, University of Amsterdam.

The exhibition First Light will be Huis Marseille's first large presentation on the relationship between photography and astronomy. Unusual historical photographs are to be combined with the most spectacular images from famous space telescopes and spacecraft.

Since the late 19th century, astronomers have been exploring the limits of human perception by way of photography. Those limits were surpassed once and for all with the arrival of space travel and the satellite. In photographs, the seemingly infinite size of the universe is reduced to human proportions, yet it remains an elusive idea. Partly for that reason, astronomy has had a long history of popularizing research. In the past, original photographs appeared in illustrated non-specialist publications on astronomy. Nowadays the information that astronomers gather for their research is translated into spectacular and almost painterly images that reach us via newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet.

The exhibition will comprise a first-time combination of uniqe historical astronomy photographs, from Dutch collections, and present-day images made by famous telescopes and space probes such as ESO, Hubble and Cassini.

Organized in collaboration with the Stichting Academisch Erfgoed (SAE) and the Nedelrandse Onderzoekschool voor Astronomie (NOVA).
