When the moon passes overhead, its light streams down the tunnel, refracting through a six-foot-diameter lens and projecting an image of the moon onto an eight-foot-high disk of white marble below. The work is built to align most perfectly during the Major Lunar Standstill every 18.61 years. The next occurrence will be in April 2025. To calculate the alignment, Turrell worked closely with astronomers and astrophysicists. Because the universe is expanding, he must account for imperceptible changes in the geometry of the galaxy. He has designed the tunnel, like other features of the crater, to be most precise in about 2,000 years. Turrell\u2019s friends sometimes joke that\u2019s also when he\u2019ll finish the project.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/james-turrell-visionary-artwork-arizona-desert-180977452\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wil S.
