Hello All:
I received an email informing me of a fascinating astronomical/art project in New Mexico called the "Star Axis". According to the website about it: "Star Axis is an architectonic earth/star sculpture constructed with the geometry of the stars; earth-to-star alignments built to human scale. It offers an intimate experience of how the earth's environment extends into the space of the stars. The sculpture's name refers to its primary earth/star alignment. It is precisely aligned with Earth's axis, which now points toward our north star Polaris. The approach to building Star Axis involves gathering a variety of star alignments occurring in different time scales and allowing them to form the architecture. Star Axis was conceived in 1971 and is presently being constructed on a mesa in New Mexico. At its outside dimensions, Star Axis will be 11 stories high and 1/10th of a mile across." See: http://www.staraxis.org <http://www.staraxis.org/> Thought some of you might be interested in this. John Carmichael
