Event 1 UCLA Meteorite Gallery

This past week I visited the Meteorite Gallery at the UCLA Geology Building. When visiting the gallery I saw first hand how science and art are related. The gallery helped me better understand how science and art are connected in different forms of art. In the gallery we were able to see many different meteorites that were all different textures, sizes, and shapes, which better helped us understand how art and science can be connected.

All of the meteorites had different textures to them, making them all unique. Each one is different from the next, much like how every piece of art work is different. One that I found the most interesting was the Old Women Iron Meteorite. This is the second largest meteorite from the USA Mass. I found this one interesting because of the smooth look to it. Most of the others in the gallery were very rough looking compared to this one.

I would recommend visiting the Meteorite Gallery because you can see science and art being connected in a different form. When visiting you get to see how science and art can be connected through natural things. This showed me that science and art can be connected through different forms.

By visiting the Meteorite Gallery I got to see how science can be made into art, while still highlighting the important details about the meteorites. After walking around the gallery I was able to learn new things about the meteorites.
