What lies beneath the surface of a shimmering planet? While Earth looks like a serene gem from space, it masks a world of magnificent and volatile forces. In this lecture recorded at the BlackRock Center for the Arts, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Dr. Sabine Stanley pulls back the curtain on planetary interiors and the science-fiction-worthy features of our celestial neighbors.

This presentation explores the unique collaboration between the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths™ program and contemporary fiber artists from 11 countries, whose work was inspired by Dr. Stanley’s research and her book, What’s Hidden Inside Planets?
