Expand your horizons and embark on a cosmic adventure that transcends the gallery walls! This special edition of SAM Late Nights presents Science Café in collaboration with Science Centre Singapore. Inspired by Olafur Eliasson's artworks that explore light, perception, and sensory experiences, we invite you on a curious journey that bridges the gap between art and astronomy.

Unveiling the Cosmos: Of Art and Astronomy
Join us for a talk with Dr Tan Peng Kian, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore and SAM curatorial assistant Angelica Ong, as they unveil the hidden connections between Eliasson's visionary works and the awe-inspiring world of astronomy.

About the speaker
Dr. Tan Peng Kian is an experimental physicist whose research focuses on quantum optics and astronomy. His work investigates light from the single-photon level with picosecond precision, all the way to the cosmic scale. This involves the development of quantum sensing instrumentation, as well as probing for temporal coherence from the stars. He is a principal investigator in the Quantum Engineering Programme Singapore and a senior research fellow at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore.

Journey through the stars
After the talk, step inside our mesmerising portable planetarium and embark on a guided tour of the solar system. Learn fascinating facts and ponder the vastness of space as you make brief "stops" on each planet.

Enjoy a selection of delicious food and drinks (including alcoholic drinks) throughout the evening. This special programme is perfect for art enthusiasts, astronomy buffs, and anyone curious about the intersection of science and creativity.
