Do we really know what we see through a telescope? How does the ocular system construct planetary images, and how does the brain interpret them? Drawing on astronomical and psychological data, William Sheehan offers the first systematic analysis of the perceptual and cognitive factors that go into the initial structuring of a planetary image and its subsequent elaboration.
