Celebrate the opening of the latest exhibit in the Hatcher Library Audubon Room: Early Astronomy in the University of Michigan Collections. Join the exhibit curators, John Steele, Francesca Schironi, Evyn Kropf, and Pablo Alvarez, for an informal conversation about the making of this project, followed by a tour of the exhibit. There will be coffee and other refreshments.
The exhibit traces how astronomy was developed, studied, and disseminated through the centuries, from 1500 BCE to the Renaissance. It highlights material drawn from the University of Michigan collections, including manuscripts, early printed books, and artifacts, all of which illustrate Mesopotamian, Greek, Islamic, and Western European astronomy.
