Adams Memorial

"Clover" Adams, wife of the writer Henry Adams, committed suicide in 1885 by drinking chemicals used to develop photographs. Adams, who steadfastly refused to discuss his wife's death, commissioned Augustus Saint-Gaudens to create a memorial that would express the Buddhist idea of nirvana, a state of being beyond joy and sorrow. In Adams's circle of artists and writers, the old Christian certainties seemed inadequate after the violence of the Civil War, the industrialization of America, and Darwin's theories of evolution. Saint-Gaudens's ambiguous figure reflects the search for new insights into the mysteries of life and death. The shrouded being is neither male nor female, neither triumphant nor downcast. Its message is inscrutable. Clover's gravesite in Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. quickly became a tourist attraction, but Adams resisted all attempts to sentimentalize the memorial as a symbol of grief. He acknowledged the power of Saint-Gaudens's sculpture, however, and allowed reproductions to be made and sold to a chosen few.

Not very impressive from Tucson. Haze in the west (not the obscured mountains) and the Sun was too far below the horizon to illuminate the exhaust plume. Still got a dim trail in the photo and it looked like a moderately faint satellite pass visually. Only saw the first stage burn. Nothing after first stage MECO.

The biggest challenge in market research today is knowing which trends are worth pursuing—and which ones should be ignored. The only way to determine this is by looking at the past to see what the evolution of insights tells us about the future.

The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you. #rilke
NASA's InSight lander deployed its Wind and Thermal Shield on Feb. 2 (Sol 66). The shield covers InSight's seismometer, which was set down onto the Martian surface on Dec. 19. For the past several weeks, NASA's InSight lander has been making adjustments to the seismometer it set on the Martian surface on Dec. 19. Now it's reached another milestone by placing a domed shield over the seismometer to help the instrument collect accurate data. The seismometer will give scientists their first look at the deep interior of the Red Planet, helping them understand how it and other rocky planets are formed.
