Onehandle,

This is the stuff that makes the whole world better. Thanks for posting and I dare anyone not to be moved by this piece. We are all seekers of the AWE and science for exploration is our true higher calling. I've been to the sight many times and the museum is fantastic!

There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.

What we got here is some massive science stuff, which I personally think is wowzerville cool, but are any of these dimwits trying to cut the budget? I hope not...this is much more productive than the manned space program, if we have to choose...
