Video: Two talks featuring pretty pictures from space

Amherst College Reunion Weekend, May 23, 2016

I spoke to an audience that ranged in age from under 6 to the class of 1956 about the adventures and science of active space missions, focusing on Venus science, Dawn's mission to Vesta and Ceres, and what New Horizons found at Pluto.

Seeing the Solar System through Robot Eyes: The International Community of Space Image Data Artists and the Golden Age of Planetary Exploration

STScI Engineering and Technology Colloquium, June 7, 2016
