EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Edward Gooch in the 1860s, we are transported back in time to Signor Perinis planetarium. The image showcases an astronomer passionately delivering a lecture to a diverse group of individuals, both male and female. Standing tall with confidence, the astronomer points towards the ast planetariums orreries as he captivates his audience with the wonders of the universe. The atmosphere is filled with awe and curiosity as everyone's attention is fixed on the speaker. Amongst them is a young child, his eyes wide open in wonderment at what lies beyond our world. This vertical composition perfectly captures the sense of unity within this archival moment - people from different walks of life coming together to explore science and technology. Perini's Planetarium was renowned for its educational lectures that brought astronomy closer to ordinary people during a time when space exploration was still in its infancy. Through this photograph, Edward Gooch beautifully immortalizes not only Signor Perini's legacy but also highlights how knowledge has always been universal regardless of gender or age. This stunning portrait serves as a reminder that even though times have changed since 1860, our fascination with space continues to unite us all.
