Quote: "Most people think that astronomers get out at night in observatories and scan the skies. That's not true. Almost all the telescopes we have in the world are designed to peer at very tiny little pieces of the sky way off in the distance to see a quasar or hunt for black holes or look at a distant galaxy. The only real network of telescopes that scans the skies has been designed and built by the military. We have been spoiled by artists renderings into imagining a clarity of resolution that doesn't exist in actual astronomy"
Question: Do you think that if artists did not "clarify" the pictures of the sky's , would people still be interested in that art? (Because it would turn into just one big blurry picture)
How can artist and astronomers connected through art?
Comment: At first glance this quote doesn't seem like it has much importance. But what the public doesn't know is that art is created by the beholder, how can we continue to let random people tell us what is art? the problem with todays society is that the are too blind to see what is behind the curtain. if people were to spend some time away from social networks, read a book and learn about the world around them then they would see how much our lives are controlled by others telling us what to think.
