Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on December 17, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Charles Ross! May your day be as monumental and timeless as Star Axis itself—though hopefully it didn't take quite so long to build the cake. Your visionary creation has given us all a reason to look up at the stars with fresh wonder (and without telescopes!). You've truly sculpted our perspective on art—and astronomy—in ways Galileo himself would envy.

Here's wishing you another orbit around the sun filled with inspiration, creativity, and fewer construction delays than an earthwork observatory typically demands. Keep reaching for those celestial heights; after all these years shaping landscapes into masterpieces, you've certainly earned some stellar celebrations!
