  • Summary

  • How do we make sense of the universe with the help of astronomical images? My guest for this episode is Luis Calçada, who is a data visualisation artist at the European Southern Observatory, also known as ESO. This organisation builds and runs some of the most powerful telescopes in the world, and it’s Luis job to make sure that the data collected by these telescopes is presented in an visually appealing and educational way to the general public. We discuss how astronomical images are created, what an artistic illustration is and what the role astronomical visualisations play for our understand of the universe.
