Natural Spaces

When a NASA astronaut draws parallels between art and science, it's out of this world! Hear from oceanographer, engineer, and NASA astronaut Megan McArthur as she reflects on the U.S. Department of the Interior Museum’s 1874 "Chasm of the Colorado" masterpiece of the Grand Canyon by artist Thomas Moran; the importance of preserving national parks; and her own photos of national parks she has taken from space.
This piece was created in conjunction with the Interior Museum's exhibition, "Thomas Moran & the 'Big Picture.'" Music courtesy of Chad Perkins.
