How do you create a picture of something you’ve heard about but never seen?
This is a problem that has bedeviled scientists for centuries.
Five hundred years ago, people sought to understand the mysterious, half-seen creatures that lurked beneath the ocean’s surface.
Today, researchers hunt for ways to visualize black holes and the ocean floor.
In search of answers to this question, join astrophysicist Erin Kara, sonar pioneer Martin Klein, and exhibition curators Elisabeth (Libby) Meier and Florencia Pierri, for a discussion on seeing and understanding the unknown across scientific disciplines.
The panel will be followed by an opportunity to visit the Monsters of the Deep exhibition.
