The Astronomer's Universe takes you to the places in the cosmos where astronomers are doing their research. The work ranges from planetary science in our own solar system to the study of starbirth and stardeath in the Milky Way and other galaxies, all the way out to the formation of the first objects after the Big Bang.
Tune in each month for a new exploration!
In between times, here are a few links to take you out into the astronomer's universe:

The Big Picture: Space as an Exhibit - Carolyn's Blog
The Astronomer’s Universe for July is a re-post about a wonderful image of the cosmos disguised as an astronomy exhibit and I find such exhibits fascinating.
One of the most challenging of Griffith exhibits to write was the Big Picture, which I describe in the first segment of The Astronomer’s Universe. This fantastic image that covers one whole huge wall in the Gunther Depths of Space at Griffith was actually first conceptualized some years ago by a team of designers who currently work at C&G Partners, a group that designs exhibits. Their idea was discussed and refined over several years, through many conversations about the proper way to visualize scientific data — particularly on a wall 150 feet long!
