Image
The Beneski Museum of Natural History presents the Beneski Photographs of Emeritus Professor of Astronomy George Greenstein. Greenstein has captured the play of light and the intersecting geometries of shadow and skeleton within the main gallery in a set of evocative images. This exhibition is located on the second-floor
balcony of the Museum and will be on display throughout the remainder of the fall semester.
Prof Greenstein taught Astronomy at Amherst for forty years before retiring in 2012. He is the author or coauthor of many research papers and pedagogical essays, and of six books explicating quantum mechanics and the universe for the popular reader. Greenstein is also an accomplished photographer.
