Astronomical!

Homo Sapiens
Neanderthalensis
Lascaux ca. 20,000 - 15,000 B.C.
Upper paleolithic ancestors
extinct fossil hominid species =
extant astronomical imagery
Ah, ye eternal skeptics!

Graphic astronomical observations
imaging the heavens
that ineluctable majesty
astronomical discoveries, theories
observations and analyses;
textual presentations;
comprehension, reproduction.

Imaging, drawing,
astronomical artifacts
graphic techniques
vintage, antique observational
records in scientific enquiry
humankind's hubris
Nature's interlocutor.

Observe, query
record, celebrate.
Reinforcing, autodictatism
cumulative experience.
Man, conqueror of the Universe!

c. 2009 Rita Rosenfeld
