Astronomer Johannes Kepler: birth town Weil der Stadt

I first heard the name “Kepler” way back in high school. I had no idea “Kepler” would embody a winding trail of education, knowledge, a “first life” (career), and a deep lifelong appreciation of science. Thankfully, what’s transformed has been a “second life” opened to another world with more questions, some of which have led to unexpected places. Perhaps, the cost is a solitary quest for answers, but ultimately, my motivation has always been clear: it’s because I need to know.
In the same way Kepler, like many others before and after, looked up at night and asked a simple question: “why do stars and planets appear and move as they do in the sky?”
To the here and now, my questions begin and land on our own planet.
For example, where was Kepler born? Where is this place? Are there any traces in those spaces?
But first, who was Kepler?
Berlin’s Hamburger Bhf: no trains, only transition
Above: Appearing in Raleway font is my added line: This is not a train station.”
There is no meat or bread here.
There are also no trains here. No longer.
There is only art, and in this instance, there is a contemporary art piece that’s a historical nod.
The artwork “Transition” (2009–present) by Polish artist Robert Kuśmirowski is housed in the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, a museum of late-20th and 21st-century art in the German capital city of Berlin. Kuśmirowski’s piece refers to the building’s past and its present. “Transition” is a part of the ensemble “Unendliche Ausstellung” (Eternal Exhibition”) on permanent display throughout the Hamburger Bahnhof gallery-museum.
