Informazioni sull'autore
Roberta J. M. Olson is curator of drawings at the New-York Historical Society and professor emeritus of art history at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. She is the author of Fire and Ice: A History of Comets in Art. Jay M. Pasachoff (1943–2022) was the Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy and director of the Hopkins Observatory at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and coauthor of The Sun, also published by Reaktion Books. Olson and Pasachoff worked jointly on the intersection of art and astronomy since the 1985–1986 passage of Halley’s Comet brought them together. They are coauthors of Fire in the Sky: Comets and Meteors, the Decisive Centuries, in British Art and Science, and Cosmos is the culmination of their decades of collaboration.
