For Gustav Holst and Claude Debussy, the beauty of Earth and its surrounding planets inspired them not to collect data, but to compose music. Now, 100 years after the first performance of Holst’s “The Planets,” audiences had a chance to hear their music and see depictions of our awe-inspiring solar system simultaneously.
On Jan 27 and 28, the National Philharmonic Orchestra, in collaboration with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, presented Cosmic Designs at the Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD. In this marriage of music and space imagery, the orchestra performed Claude Debussy’s “La Mer” and Gustav Holst’s “The Planets.” Video producers at Goddard worked to collect depictions of our solar system’s planets, as well as Earth’s oceans to accompany the music. Using both satellite pictures and animations, this presentation illustrated tones in the music, making the audible narrative in the music come alive visually.

Dedicated to Mercury – the Cosmic Snake
Part 4
I've heard the holy snake saying:
Your wish will be my order... Persephone... so come...
Don't be afraid
Look into my eyes
What do you see?
Maybe a part of yourself...
I am the tree of life
I am the energy of life
I am the transformation
I am the son of the mother
I am temptation
I am lust
I am the aple
I am called Mercury
the holy spirit of mater...
I say: be conscious now...
and enjoy your life without sins!

Teil 4
Die heilige Merkurius-Schlange
Komm, keine Angst!
Sieh in meine Augen!
Ich bin der Vermittler zwischen Himmel und Erde.
Ich bin die Fruchtbarkeit der Erde
Ich bin der Apfel
Ich bin die Erkenntnis
Ich bin die Transzendenz
Ich bin der Wandler
Ich bin dein Freund!
Ich bin die Schlange am Baum des Lebens
Ich bin das Quecksilber der Alchemisten
Ich bin die transzendente Funktion in deiner Psyche.
Merkurius werde ich genannt.
Ich bringe deine Jugend zu dir zurück…
HKD
Das Symbol der Schlange wird häufig mit Transzendenz verbunden. Der Überlieferung nach ist sie ein Geschöpf der Unterwelt. Da sie auch in der Oberwelt zu sehen ist, gilt sie als Vermittler zwischen Unter- und Oberwelt.
Die Schlange gilt als therapeutisches Symbol der Heilung.
Wir finden sie am Stab des Aeskulap ebenso wie an dem des Gottes Merkurius.
We spent our third and last day in Durham visiting nearby Washington and then drove back at dusk to park near Durham University for the Durham Lumiere installations there. It's a long drive home from Durham so, just as the light was fading, we saw the first performance of Cosmic Architecture, a stunningly beautiful, fast flowing, projection with music on to Daniel Libeskind's building for the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics. The images and sound reflected the research carried out in that building. We stayed to enjoy this one twice - or was it maybe three times?
I'm gonna have me a go at lomo cross processing.
The Cosmic 35 was a Christmas present off Cath's Mum.
Not tried it yet as it has it's 'take up spool' missing.
It rained all day today so I made a light box.

A massive galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus dominates the center of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. This image is populated with a serene collection of elliptical and spiral galaxies, but galaxies surrounding the central cluster – which is named SPT-CL J0019-2026 – appear stretched into bright arcs, as if distorted by a gargantuan magnifying glass. This cosmic contortion, called a gravitational lens, occurs when the powerful gravitational field of a massive object like a galaxy cluster distorts and magnifies the light from background objects. These objects would normally be too distant and faint to observe, but the magnifying power of the gravitational lens extends Hubble’s view even deeper into the universe.
This observation is part of an ongoing project to fill short gaps in Hubble’s observing schedule by systematically exploring the most massive galaxy clusters in the distant universe, in the hopes of identifying promising targets for further study with both Hubble and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. This particular galaxy cluster lies at a vast distance of 4.6 billion light-years from Earth.
