Charts the human love affair with the heavens in both art and science.

À propos de l'auteur: Professors Olson and Pasachoff have been working together on the intersection of art and astronomy since the 1985-1986 passage of Halley's Comet brought them together. They are joint authors of Fire in the Sky: Comets and Meteors, the Decisive Centuries, in British Art and Science (1998) and this book is the culmination of their decades of collaboration. Roberta J. M. Olson is Curator of Drawings at the New-York Historical Society and Professor Emerita of Art History at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. She is the author of Fire and Ice: A History of Comets in Art (1988). Jay M. Pasachoff is Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Hopkins Observatory at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and co-author of The Sun (Reaktion, 2017).
