Astrophysicist Paul Sell shares two stories about the challenge of making sense of cosmic images \u2014 from a famous historical misinterpretation to his own work studying the enigmatic system Circinus X-1. Building on these insights, astro-artist Ash Wheeler guides participants in creating their own visual interpretations, using painting to explore how shifts in perspective can spark discovery.
