Welcome to Star Talk.

Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.

Star Talk begins right now.

Today we're going to talk about the universe as it inspires the creativity of artists.

Artists throughout time and artists of all kinds, not only painters but sculptors and the like.

That's very interesting.

Well, I've liked it because scientists we hang out together and sometimes we're not appreciated as much as we would like to be for whatever reasons.

And occasionally we see some of what we our handiwork reflected in the creativity of artists themselves.

And we say to ourselves, maybe we're becoming mainstream.

Maybe we're creative and we're not nerds.

Well, no, we will let's take credit for that.

Okay, I'll take credit for it too.

So actually I saw enough of this happen.

So a few years ago I wrote an essay for natural history magazine called The Universe as the artist's muse.

Dude, do you have a family?

Do you ever not?

You're always writing?

You're like, I wrote a book about that.

Well, because I get what I do.

Okay.

It inspired the symphony I wrote.

So you're great, Neil.
