A beloved little house, a city garden where poets and bands celebrate las palabras, the words. Now in its seventh season, La Casita brings the oral music and poetry traditions of the Caribbean, Native America, the Middle East, and the United States together in one artistic garden under one beautiful roof. Over 26 outstanding poets, bands and troubadours appear in a specially designed “Casita” or Little House setting; the project tours to various New York community sites, and additional activities include a poetry workshop project for youth and free booklet of the poets work in translation.

Now, what was bothering you? Turn to awe instead.

Closer up of one of the darkest regions of previous photo.

So, now what was it that was so overwhelming??

(Thanks to Elizabeth Erwin, who forwarded these images, and concept.)

Deeper

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS
"ENTIRE" GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

Now the Larger Perspective, and Context Begins to Emerge

Our Beloved Sun

Now, the Rest of the Relatives

A Sense of Perspective

Here's the base.

A Mars Link

from Stephen Strom, a friend, collaborator (Secrets from the Center of the World, University of Arizona Press) and astronomer: "One thing...although close, Mars and Earth won't be close enough to make the red planet
appear as big as the full moon....it's brightness will surely draw the eye, though!

Thought you'd be interested in this link -- complete with animation -- It might be
exciting for your readers to glance at.

Thanks Steve

Also, see comments--Might be wrong. Still, here's info on Mars.
