The Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena Conference (INSAP) V
Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum
Chicago, Illinois
June 26 - July 1, 2005

INSAP conferences explore the rich and diverse ways in which people of the
past and present incorporate astronomical events into literary, visual,
and performance arts. This emphasis distinguishes INSAP from other
conferences that focus on archeoastronomy, ethnoastronomy, or cultural
astronomy. INSAP provides a mechanism for a broad sampling of artists,
writers, musicians, historians, philosophers, scientists, and others to
talk about the diversity of astronomical inspiration.

Registration for INSAP V is now available online at
www.adlerplanetarium.org/INSAPV .
