Box 207 Honaunau HI 96726 U.S.A 808-328-9598 JON LOMBERG Galaxy Garden –Earth’s first walk-through model of our Milky Way Galaxy Galaxy Garden Enterprises delivers a revolutionary new astronomy education experience that conveys the scale of our Universe as never before - The Galaxy GardenTM Created by Jon Lomberg, the world-famous Emmy Award winning artist who has helped shape an entire generation’s image of the Universe. Lomberg’s 25 year partnership with Carl Sagan produced some of the most important science inspired art of our time, including: NASA’s legendary Voyager Interstel- lar Record, Humanity’s self-portrait launched on a billion year voyage to the stars: COSMOS, CONTACT, and four message artifacts on the surface of Mars. No other artist on Earth has designed so many artifacts for distant times, worlds, and beings. www.jonlomberg.com In 1992 the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC commissioned a large and accurate painting of the Milky Way galaxy. This artwork has remained an iconic image of the galaxy for this generation of astronomers, used in many textbooks, museums, and for NASA’s Kepler and ACE missions http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/multimedia/images/kepler-target-in -the-milkyway.html The Galaxy Garden in Hawaii is Earth’s first large-scale walk-through model of the Milky Way Galaxy and is based on Lomberg’s “Portrait of the Milky Way” mural painted for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum in Wash. DC. “The hardest thing to envision about the galaxy is its sheer vastness. Pictures on a page don't do it. Even a large mural on a wall doesn't do it justice. Scale-model solar systems have proven an effective teaching tool for con- veying the geography of our Sun and its planets. These models of the solar sys- tem have enabled students to understand the distances between planets in our own solar system. Such models appear in Ithaca, New York, (Washington, D.C., Pasadena, California, and in Peoria, Illinois, where you can bicycle your way around the Solar System. I wanted to create the same kind of experience of the Milky Way Galaxy, a model you can walk around inside. A living garden symbolizes the stars, form- ing, dying, and reforming in our galaxy all the time. And walking along the spiral arms to the center is an interstellar journey that everyone can make.” Jon Lomberg The Galaxy Garden is the first time our Milky Way galaxy has been rendered as an accurate walk-through map; a "living portrait" of our galaxy, realized as a garden. In a 30m diameter Galaxy Garden, 1 meter= ~3000 light years. One cm = ~30 light years. A single leaf holds the Sun and millions of other stars, including most of those we can see with unaided eyes. Visitors experience a “Eureka!” moment, understanding for the first time the scale of the Milky Way and our tiny neighbor- hood within it. More than just an intellectual exercise, the Galaxy Garden per- mits actual exploration by young and old alike and provides a powerful, almost transcendent experience of our place in the Universe. The first Galaxy Garden was built in Kona, Hawaii with much of the labor do- nated by local high school students and volunteers of all ages. In fact the inter- generational effort was one of the most rewarding aspects of the construction phase. The Galaxy Garden has become an astronomy attraction for local, national and international visitors, Schools and other groups. “I visited the Galaxy Garden in early May 2008 and was quite impressed. This is a great way for people to visualize the enormous size and stunning beauty of our home, the Milky Way Galaxy. There are a number of Solar System "walk-along models" available throughout the world (for example, in Ithaca, NY, inspired by Carl Sagan), but I know of no similar model of the Galaxy. This is an excellent educational tool, and well worth a visit if you are on the Big Island of Hawaii.” Alex Filippenko, Dept. of Astronomy, UC Berkeley “Every planetarium and museum should hire you to create have a garden like this for them! We non-science folk can grasp the galactic concept by viewing and walking in such a beautiful garden.” Bjo, California “Breathtaking... What a gift you have created for all of us. To parallel the majesty of our galaxy with the beauty of your local flora... Thank you - for shar- ing your creativity. Carlotta, New Hampshire “This is obviously a labour of love! Thank you so much for doing this beautiful garden - science in the most wonderful form! I'm literally thrilled. Celia, British Columbia “La experiencia de conocer otra forma de entender la realidad, ha sido importante no para conocer lo pequeños que somos, sino que sabemos dosnde estamos y quienes somos. Gracias al Galaxy Garden, las nuevas generaciones pueden entender con poesía y belleza un poco mas de ser humanos” Guillermo, Chile The Galaxy Garden is an experience that engages the senses; the exquisite beauty of the flowers representing nebula; the sound made by walking on the crunchy cinder paths which sounds like real radio static coming from space. The Galaxy Garden is a place for all people from all walks of life regardless of age, background, education, ethnicity, gender. Everyone comes away thrilled. Galaxy Garden Enterprises provides astronomy outreach exhibits that engage the community and spark the interest of the new generation of space explorers. And as so, our company provide: Licensed use of the Galaxy Garden concept and model of the galaxy which it is based. Creation of a new site-specific Galaxy Garden visualizations for academic, science center, or botanical garden locations on which detailed designs can be based. Detailed design of a site specific Galaxy Garden incorporating local plants and minerals best-suited for a year-round garden. Design of the Black Hole fountain and other special features. Supporting graphics, signage, and other materials. A Collaborative relationship with other Galaxy Gardens to share materials developed for specific educational and general audiences. Public or scientific lectures and articles about the Galaxy Garden. The Galaxy Garden in Kona was designed to fit naturally into the Hawaiian land- scape. Galaxy Garden Enterprises believe that a similar design can be found that is equally expressive of the landscape and vegetation of your location. Our next priority is to understand your interest and answer any questions or concerns. This will able us to create the desired garden. We are looking forward to working with you.

  • An Artist's Collaboration with Astronomer Carl Sagan at UCSD, Jan
    Visualizing Science: An artist's collaboration with astronomer Carl Sagan at UCSD, Jan. 22 January 15, 1997 MEDIA ADVISORY EVENT: Visualizing Science: An Artist's Collaboration with Astronomer Carl Sagan DATE/TIME: 4:15 p.m.--5:30 p.m., Jan. 22, 1997 LOCATION: Peterson Hall, Rm. 108 University of California, San Diego BACKGROUND: Jon Lomberg, principal artistic collaborator to the late Carl Sagan for about a quarter century, will present some of his illustrations and artwork during a public lecture at UCSD honoring Sagan, who died last month. Lomberg will deliver the talk as a UC Regents' Lecturer sponsored by UCSD's Department of Psychology and The Laboratory for Applied Cognitive Research. Since the publication of "The Cosmic Connection" in 1972, Lomberg worked on virtually all of Sagan's projects to popularize science including most of his books, many of his magazine articles, the "nuclear winter" work, and the TV series "Cosmos," for which Lomberg won an Emmy Award for his work as chief artist. At the time of Sagan's death in December, Lomberg and Sagan were collaborating on the film version of Sagan's novel "Contact." In his talk, the artist will describe his work with Sagan, showing many examples of their work together and sharing personal recollections of the world-famous astronomer. Lomberg will deliver a second Regents lecture, "Messages Across Space and Time," from 4:15 p.m.--5:30 p.m., Jan. 29, Peterson Hall, Rm. 108. At this time, Lomberg will describe his role in the creation of four of the most unusual and long-lasting artifacts ever created by human beings, including NASA's Voyager Interstellar Record (for extraterrestrial beings far off the Milky Way).

  • Remixing the Voyager Interstellar Record Or, As Extraterrestrials Might Listen
    Journal of Sonic Studies 8 (2014) Sounds of Space: http://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/109536/109537 Remixing the Voyager Interstellar Record Or, As Extraterrestrials Might Listen Stefan Helmreich Contextualizing the Context In 2010, scientists claiming to belong to a dissenting faction of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) contacted Seeland Records. Calling themselves the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Exile, or SETI-X, the group claimed to have received an alien transmission of rearranged sound from the Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph album famously sent into outer space in 1977 on each of NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft (Figure 1). The Golden Record had been put together in the mid-1970s by a panel convened by astronomer Carl Sagan, and it held a program of sounds and music of Earth, representing to imagined aliens our planet’s soundscapes, voices, and musical traditions. [1] Figure 1: The Voyager Golden Record. Side 1, on left, is the analog audio program. Side 2, on right, instructions to extraterrestrials on how to play the record. [2] 1 Because the scientists of SETI-X wished to remain anonymous, Seeland sought a public voice or commentator from other quarters. Because the label had in 2003 released a CD I had created, Xerophonics: Copying Machine Music, a science- and-technology themed mix of sounds of indefinite ownership (Helmreich 2003), and because I had also written about scientific notions of extraterrestrial life (Helmreich 2006), Seeland reasoned that I might be appropriately positioned to offer thoughts on the SETI-X document. They asked me to comment, which I did in a few venues (including, among other sites, the Los Angeles Daily News [Mills 2010].

  • Art on Mars: a Foundation for Exoart
    THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA AUSTRALIA by TREVOR JOHN RODWELL Bachelor of Design (Hons), University of South Australia Graduate Diploma (Business Enterprise), The University of Adelaide ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART May 2011 ABSTRACT ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART It could be claimed that human space exploration started when the former Soviet Union (USSR) launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit on 12 April 1961. Since that time there have been numerous human space missions taking American astronauts to the Moon and international crews to orbiting space stations. Several space agencies are now working towards the next major space objective which is to send astronauts to Mars. This will undoubtedly be the most complex and far-reaching human space mission ever undertaken. Because of its large scale and potentially high cost it is inevitable that such a mission will be an international collaborative venture with a profile that will be world- wide. Although science, technology and engineering have made considerable contributions to human space missions and will be very much involved with a human Mars mission, there has been scant regard for artistic and cultural involvement in these missions. Space agencies have, however, realised the influence of public perception on space funding outcomes and for some time have strived to engage the public in these space missions. This has provided an opportunity for an art and cultural involvement, but there is a problem for art engaging with space missions as currently there is no artform specific to understanding and tackling the issues of art beyond our planet.
