'You First Saw the Light' is a study of a 50 micron fragment of comet collected from the stratosphere by a NASA high altitude research aircraft. Its origin being an interstellar dust cloud that pre-dates the Sun. At some point it became detached and eventually trapped by the Earth's gravity. Its current stage in its history sees it stored in a glass vial in a clean room in a planetary science research facility.
Andy Gracie, 'You First Saw the Light', 2017, will be at Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya (MAC). #loopbarcelona #artistfilm #video #film #outerspace #cosmos #comet #stratosphere #andygracie #nasa #sun #interstellar #universe #earth #science
