About the Design:
Canadian artist Lo c Beaumont-Tremblay has re-created the forested setting of the Observatoire du Mont-M gantic beneath a clear, star-filled sky. A globule of borosilicate glass shines with a stunning image of the universe. The round, crystal-clear qualities of the glass are similar to peering through atelescope lens, and its luminescence further enhances the viewer's experience of gazing intothe galaxy.
