Seeing Science contest

11 February 2008

Rense Boomsma and Erwin Platen from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute have entered the KNAW photo contest "Seeing Science". For this they made the picture shown here; an artist impression of the distribution of dark matter above Groningen (as you would see it if it wasn't invisible).

They have been selected for the jury prize as one of four finalists. You can vote for the public prize until Februari 18th at the Seeing Science website.
