A Day of Infamy Revisited
by Steve SandbergTragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one&’s life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.

Space: A Primer for Curious Minds
by Ted MerrittAsteroids ExplainedAs man begins to explore our solar space, some asteroids, which are like small moons made up of rocks and dust, are easier and cheaper to explore than the planets, including Earth.Asteroids are usually rich in minerals and many of them have water and carbon which are associated with the creation of life. Simply put, exploring them is a good first step as we expand efforts to visit celestial bodies. Scientists also plan to revisit earth&’s moon, nearby Mars and possibly Saturn&’s moon Titan. While we don&’t expect to find actual life in the asteroid exploration, we do look forward to better understand how the solar system developed and, of course, how earth was created,Asteroids are usually irregularly shaped by many collisions with each other. So, we are able to get a relatively easy look at their interior characteristics.It would be interesting to look deep inside earth but at this point it is impossible.Do you suppose the Earth&’s interior is somewhat like an exposed asteroid interior?
