Grand Centrals Wonders

Grand Central,What comes to mind? 

The plastered night sky, The zodiac symbols, The way the stars form

How far your head has to incline just to take in the art. 

 Look at the constellations on the celestial atlas. 

 What do you see? 

 Orion the hunter facing off a bull

The way Rigel is drawn on Orion's right ankle

 Pegasus soaring through the clouds

The look of fury in Taurus’ face.

 What about the color? 

 The way the turquoise that represents the view over Greece and Southern Italy. 

 How the equator, ecliptic, and the milky way are all established in this piece of art. 

 Months and Months had been taken just to find the right shade of celestial blue.

 Just for the astronomical aspects to be clearly identified as your paced back and forth. 

 For one hundred and forty seven years… 

This masterpiece has gone through failures and successes 

 Developing the perfect astronomical and historical piece 

 Representing the past, present, and the soon future.
