On March 17 – 19 the Arlington Planetarium will be host to shows, talks, and performances devoted to the “The Art of Science,” exploring the intersections of scientific and artistic creativity. We’ll have films, live music, and lectures exploring both the art in science and art in the service of communicating the adventure of the scientific journey.
