Title

Why Teach Astronomy? The Business Model

Abstract

Bega’s painting is typical of a tradition that represents astrologers and other isolated scholars, disconnected from any concerns of the world outside. Other examples are Carl Spizweg’s Scholar of Natural Sciences ( (uri: http:∕∕www.mam.org∕site∕spitzweg.asp))(1865-70) in the Milwaukee Art Museum, and Jan Vermeer’s The Astrologer ( (uri: http:∕∕www.culture.gouv.fr∕public∕mistral∕joconde_fr?ACTION=CHERCHER&FIELD_1=AUTR&VALUE_1=VERMEER Johannes&DOM=All&REL_SPECIFIC=1&IMAGE_ONLY=CHECKED))(1668) in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The 17th-century paintings are from the days when astrology was synonymous with astronomy, and today we could say that an astronomer like the ones painted lived in an “ivory tower.”
