Aesthetics & Astronomy project

10 September 2010

 

The Aesthetics & Astronomy project, from the founders of FETTU, studies the public’s perception and understanding of astronomical imagery across multiple traditional and non-traditional venues and platforms, including mobile and web platforms.   Results of the initial study are now available in the SAGE Journal of Science Communication: http://tiny.cc/t2mhx   
A portable, FETTU-like research exhibit is traveling to 6 locations in 2010 in the U.S. and New Zealand for the second phase of the study.  The mobile web platform study is  in progress if you would care to be a part of it:  http://chandra.si.edu/mobile/aa.html 
More data is on its way to science outreach practitioners!  http://astroart.cfa.harvard.edu/
