"Stained Glass Reflects on Astronauts' Lives"

This is beautiful.

Beginning today, visitors to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson may find themselves moved to a more a reverential state of mind.

Unveiled during a private ceremony Tuesday night, the Cosmosphere's latest addition is an 8- by 11-foot (2.4- by 3.3-meter) stained glass creation that pays tribute to 17 fallen astronauts.


What an incredible melding of the scientific, the artistic, and the religious. The stained glass piece is actually quite breathtaking.
