Beyond Beauty

Penknife Press attended this event on Sunday, June 13th, at the Ballroom of the Art Institute of Chicago. The images were stunning! But, as the name of the event implies, there was more to the images than mere beauty. Today's telescopes allow us to depict various ranges of the light spectrum in different colors thereby rendering visible the invisible. So the pictures allow scientists to delve even deeper into the unknown.
