Dark Star Park Day
Arlington's first major commissioned art project, Dark Star Park's large spheres are designed to resemble fallen, extinguished Stars. One section of the park contains spheres and poles with shadow-images inset in the ground. Each year on August 1, the day (in 1860) William Henry Ross acquired the land that became Rosslyn.
The actual shadows align with the shadow-images at 9:32 am.
