Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features. A diverse group of artists from 11 countries around the world present their views of the universe in this fascinating collection of contemporary artwork.
This exhibition is a collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths™ science communication program. Artists drew their inspiration from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Dr. Sabine Stanley's work in planetary science and her new book, What's Hidden Inside Planets?
