I'd like to think the scientists appreciate seeing the photos as well. I like to imagine they're human beings that appreciate beauty and don't just sit there jacking off to spreadsheets all day. I really hope they don't roll their eyes when they're told a visible light camera will be included, saying "there goes stupid middle America again, wanting to actually see the planets".
- jessriedel 10y agoAgreed, except to say that mathematical and scientific beauty are at least as important as aesthetic beauty. That doesn't diminish the value of aesthetic beauty, it just makes it sad that more people can't easily appreciate mathematical and scientific beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSZNsIFID28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSZNsIFID28 There exists spreadsheets whose contents evoke a beauty that rivals The Met!
