White Gallery, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

These images have been selected for Astronomy 191 students as information resources for their semester-long project. While some may have tangential relationships to astronomy or space exploration, these works of art were chosen not because they relate specifically to a particular course topic, but because they express a complex set of ideas with a clear message in a cogent manner.
