Two small tunnels in an apartment building connect Kepler Square and Galilei Street in the German town Potsdam. The tunnels display murals showing the astronomers Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei, respectively.

The tunnel featuring Johannes Kepler shows the astronomer and the orbits of the inner planets for which he defined Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

On the opposite side is a impression of a starry sky with nebulae and bright stars, the brightest of which could be interpreted as the Supernova of 1604 that was observed by Kepler.

The pictures above are the photographs we took. The artist published own pictures of his artwork online. You can see them here and here.
