James Turrell’s Roden Crater

roden-crater-5%5B6%5D.jpg

There’s a space called the Sun and Moon Chamber to observe celestial events
--you can see images of the sun and moon on the surface of a large basalt stone called the “image stone.” Leading up from that stone is an approximately 900 foot tunnel that leads to a portal—an opening to the sky. The 900 foot tunnel acts as a giant refractor telescope and contains a very large lens at the center to focus the light. | Amusing Planet
