Putaendo Patrick Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Anyone lucky enough to be in New York between now and mid April 2017 may enjoy the exhibition Time and the Cosmos in Greco-Roman Antiquity at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, 15 East 84th St., Manhattan. There's also an interesting selection of photographs on the exhibition's web-page and a printed catalogue to boot: http://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/time-cosmos/objects And a review from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/25/science/time-ancient-rome-greece.html?_r=0 Greek astronomer Aratus inspired by Urania on a Byzantine silver dish lent from a private collection in the UK.

jambouk Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I won't be in New York, but looks like an interesting exhibition. This illustration on the dish above reminds me of the one etched onto that metallic plate on the side of one of the Voyager craft. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
