The Einstein Memorial

Ok so he had nothing to do with the founding of the capitol but this delightful monument lies hidden in the gardens of the National Academies of Science. I was trying to find a short cut to the Lincoln memorial and stumbled across this great scupture. On the floor of the monument (where Einstein's gaze is directed) lies a plotting of the stars and galaxies as viewed from the site of the monument - pretty cool huh?
