Universe Today
Emily Coren is an accomplished illustrator and scientist, and she's figured out how to bring those two skills together to make science easier to understand: science illustrations.
On her blog
, Emily regularly illustrates complex scientific topics, creating beautiful images which are half-art/half-educational resource. She illustrates the
landscapes out her window
on plane flights,
jellyfish in the aquarium
, and
sexy ferns
.
Emily completed a series last year on
how adaptive optics works
. This is the technology that increases the resolution of both telescopes and microscopes, and she gave us permission to reprint the series here on Universe Today.
