DESCRIPTION:Data visualizations that resonate with human perception strong
 ly enhance discovery-based science.  Examples include perception-based col
 our mappings through to bold colour images from telescopes that act as ext
 raordinary ambassadors for astronomers. But are these astronomy images sna
 pshots documenting physical reality or are they artistically digitized spa
 ce-scapes? To answer this\, the lecture illustrates how original black and
  white astronomy data are converted into the colour images gracing magazin
 es and websites. It also describes how any scientist who visualizes observ
 ations\, simulations and models can harness colour and composition to expl
 ore data and communicate results with greater clarity to both their collea
 gues and the non-expert public. This talk presents the perspective of a re
 search astronomer who has created numerous images for NASA and also traine
 d as a visual artist.
