Held in the Lightbox Gallery, these talks are part of a collaborative project between the CfA and the Harvard Art Museums centered on the theme of light in astronomy and art conservation.

This afternoon’s talk features Alyssa Goodman, the Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Applied Astronomy at Harvard University.

Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. Museums staff will be on hand to collect tickets.
