Pretlow Planetarium Presents Escher's Universe

<p> The Pretlow Planetarium presents:&nbsp;&quot;ESCHER&#39;S UNIVERSE&quot;&nbsp;Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 PM.&nbsp;</p> <p> Based on the life and work of the multifaceted Maurits Cornelis Escher&mdash;artist, astronomer, mathematician, traveler. We see Escher&#39;s use of mathematics, astronomy, optics, crystallography, and geometry to artistically explain very complex concepts addressed by Cosmology. The show also explores&nbsp;how Escher&#39;s visit to the Alhambra in Spain changed the way he understood the universe and had a great impact in his work.</p> <p> Free admission - families welcome (suitable for ages 8+).</p> <p> www.odu.edu/planetarium</p>
