Abstract

The authors propose formalizing an entity for the sciences and science communication that is akin to public art in the humanities: public science. Public science might be able to play a role in enhancing and supporting society’s relationship with science by embedding science content into everyday experiences. The authors examine one project and its potential impact in public science. From Earth to the Universe has placed astronomy images in “nontraditional” science communication venues such as parks and airports. From Earth to the Universe could serve as a model for a type of public science, an attempt to make science accessible to nonexperts in public spaces.
