01 STARRY NIGHT Whenever the night falls, the deep blue curtain is covered with shining "gems", like a pair of eyes of wisdom, keep flashing, that is the moon’s countless.The stars is eternal, lofty and unattainable. The wonders of the night sky are always shocking. In fact, the night sky is a spiritual place, so people are always overwhelmed by an ancient and inviolable mystery when facing the sky, especially because the night sky has no technological progress, and it has nothing to do with modernization.

BC1993 Half of them were named in ancient times. Their names were appended according to the myths and shapes of the ancient civilizations (including Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt and Greece).

The other half (mostly in the southern hemisphere's night sky) was named only in modern times, often by navigational instruments.

The Starry Night is an oil on canvas by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Van Gogh.

It describes the view from the eastfacing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémyde-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an ideal village.

The night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been the subject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity’s oldest shared intellectual experience.

How fast does gravity travel? When will the sun go nova?

Who invented the light year? These are just some of the unusual and popular questions NASA astronomer Sten Odenwald answers in Back to the Astronomy Café, based on his awardwinning website "for the astronomically disadvantaged."

"Starry Sky" Describes a story about growing up: a young girl and a young man, they are not happy children. One day, they fled the city, crossed the mountains, and came to the mountain hut.

At night in the mountains, they saw the most beautiful starry sky.

This biannual celebration focuses on bringing the cosmos down to Earth in urban areas with star parties and traveling telescopes. During National Astronomy Day, we can all become observers, with events across America and throughout the world.

The national Astronomy Day is a step closer to the stars by “bringing astronomy to the people.”

Created in 1973

by Doug Berger, then president of the Astronomical Association of Northern California.

A constellation is a group of stars that forms an imaginary outline or pattern on the celestial sphere, typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, a god, or an inanimate object.

The origins of the earliest constellations likely go back to prehistory. Different cultures and countries adopted their own constellations, some of which lasted into the early 20th century before today's constellations were internationally recognized.

In Western astrology, astrological signs are the twelve 30° sectors of the ecliptic, starting at the vernal equinox (one of the intersections of the ecliptic with the celestial equator), also known as the First Point of Aries.

The order of the astrological signs is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Each sector is named for a constellation it passes through.

To use a star chart to identify stars and constellations, you must first find the one appropriate for the time of year you are observing.

Face North to Orient the star Chart. If the star chart says South, turn yourself and the starchart south.

Make sure everything is lined up correctly by facing Polaris for North. Polaris is the North Star. It is one of the brightest star and is most of the time near the horizon.

Compare the stars on the star chart and the stars you see in the night sky. When you find Polaris on the star chart and in the night sky, you can find other constellations.

02 SKYSCRAPER FOR LIVE After many years, the earth finally becomes fragmented under all kinds of pollution and destruction.

Rivers dry up, plants dry up, the air is filled with toxic gases, and the surface is no longer suitable for human life. To solve the problem of survival, Z company built a kind of skyscraper for people to use. People are free to combine these modules according to their own needs. All materials will be transferred through the central tube, and the high-risk work will be performed by robots.

Background With the continuous development of cities, resources are consumed more and more rapidly. The land resources are not enough to support people's survival. However, people's awareness of environmental protection is still very weak, which leads to global environmental degradation, rivers drying up, biological chain breaking, serious haze, these problems are serously threatening people's survival.

Global environmental degradation, rivers drying up, biological chain breaking, serious haze, these problems are serously threatening people's survival.

Children's childhood is no longer blue skies and mountains, only barren land, even looking at the stars has become a luxury.

Tall building towering into the sky give people a sense of suffocating pressure, people yearn for freedom, longing to be able to breathe the fresh air.

In order to figure out how the blocks rotate and shift, i make a move to take off the eight blocks on the vertex of the cube.

Look from the outside ,an original Rubik’s cube has exactly the same 27 blocks .

Every part of block can rotate and shift.

Though a series of study about the cube and making transformations, finally, I create a new way about the steel anchor connection. The joist steels constitute a construction with trilateral.

As we all known, the triangles have stability.

The boxes will get locked in this construction.

Besides, the joist steels have a row of slide that enable the boxes move up and down the archor connection.

03 Memory of West Country There are some places carrying memories always create a soul of the city. These have been carrying a memory of the times has long been in the hearts of people left a mark, achieving an indelible character of a city. We now live in the city, is a carrier of memory retention. Zhengzhou, my hometown, some of the memories have slowly become beyond recognition. I want to save the last minute of the city memory, do not let us foget the past, foget that should belong to our soul.

04 ARTERY SURGERY Zhengzhou, as a provincial capital city, has a large number of enterprises in the city. In that year, the transportation of raw materials and products all depended on the railway. This special railway line can be said to be the lifeline of us. However, in recent years, with the implementation of the strategy and development in Zhengzhou, these enterprises have moved out of the urban area, leaving abandoned railway lines. These "arteries" of the city in those days have become "stumbling blocks" of the city.
