Chicago Maps the Cosmos: A Cosmology Short Course for Museum &
Planetarium Staff
December 7-9, 2007
This three-day, intensive short course will highlight cartography on the
grandest scales: mapping the cosmos. It will explore the ethereal
science of cosmology in the concrete terms of the observed hierarchical
structure of the universe - which we have only recently come to
understand. Chicago Maps the Cosmos will explore our current
understanding of the cosmos from the perspective of those who are at the
forefront of investigating it, and it will provide participants with the
tools they need to bring the excitement of discovery back to their home
institutions. Chicago Maps the Cosmos will also encompass the broader
themes of Festival of Maps: Chicago - cartography, discovery,
exploration, inspiration and showcasing the local riches of the city of
Chicago.
