Jean Creighton, director of the Manfred Olson Planetarium, explores the concept of slow knowing by emphasizing the importance of making complex astronomical knowledge relatable by stripping down details, connecting concepts to daily life, and highlighting their cultural relevance. Her current work includes a program called "Scale of the Universe" that uses analogies to explain cosmic scales. She also collaborates with diverse cultures to explore celestial connections.
