Описание к видео "25 Variable Stars" exhibition celebrates Henrietta Swan Leavitt

Harvard astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt is now the subject of a public art exhibition created by artist Ligia Bouton. Leavitt studied and catalogued the night sky using glass plate negatives, leading to important scientific discoveries. Bouton created 25 lenticular photographs that depict the luminosity of 25 unique stars that Leavitt studied. The work is now on view in the Kendall/MIT MBTA stop in Cambridge, MA.
