About Suns'n'Roses

Suns'n'Roses was a page or two I created in the early days of the web (probably around 1994/95) while I was at NASA/GSFC. It was a self-indulgent tour of my favourite topics and quotes with a few nice pictures: "Visions in Astronomy, Cyberspace, and Metaphysics. Images of the Universe; mathematical and computational models; speculations on the nature of reality; quotations from the literature. WARNINGS: Reality under construction; just a little heavier on graphics than on the mind." It might not have impressed much by today's standards, but back then, images on web pages, and even the whole idea of looking at stuff instantaneously in far-away places was still a novelty, and the page generated a surprising amount of interest.

The Music of the Cosmos Television Series

The music of the Cosmos television series. Some of the music from this series was composed by the musician Vangelis.

Vangelis - Heaven & Hell

From the 1975 album 'Heaven And Hell'. On the original pressings of the LP, this track was titled 'Symphony To The Powers B, Movement 3'. On later issues of the LP, and on the CD releases, the entire album was retitled, to just Heaven & Hell Parts One and Two.

Charles Darwin's Evolution

This is an hour introduction into evolutionary thought as described by Charles Darwin. Though there is some dispute as to how speciation has occurred, whether through gradualism or punctuated equilibrium, the idea that man came from ancient primates is irrefutable.
