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/
