She indicated that the goal is to map all of the trails within the park. I visited Central Park last summer, and it would have been very helpful and interesting to have such an interactive map with me while I was there. It never even occurred to me that was a possibility. As I explored the map afterward, I was not able to continue on the trails as much as I thought I would be, but I assume this is because it is still under construction. I am a photographer, and I can only imagine the amount of work it takes to complete each section.]]> 2019-05-12 22:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fmarx/w1zw1zshdqxo/wish/359267318 fmarx https://padlet.com/fmarx/w1zw1zshdqxo/wish/359267907 Like most people, I am fascinated by the moon. I have witnessed the stages of space exploration since I was a child, and to be able to view the surface of the moon, the International Space Station, and other planets was truly indescribable. Having a 3-D view of space, seeing the shadow of the moon, and the connection to its placement near the sun and distance to and from the other planets brought space to life in a way I have not experienced before.  ]]> 2019-05-12 22:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fmarx/w1zw1zshdqxo/wish/359267907
