Begun in 1976 and conceived by Charles Ross as a naked-eye observatory, Star Axis transforms a New Mexico mesa into an architecture aligned with the movements of Earth and the stars. Its tunnels, chambers, and pyramids make the 26,000-year precession cycle perceptible, turning cosmic time into a physical experience at human scale.
