From 1978 to 1980, Braniff leased 11 Concordes (5 from Air France & 6 from British Airways) for subsonic flights between Dallas–Fort Worth and Washington Dulles—the U.S. would not allow transcontinental supersonic flights because of the Concorde's sonic boom. #SSTFirstGenerationThis tweet was posted on July 05, 2023.

In "Orion," the younger stars appear blue. Alnitak and Mintaka’s spectral “fingerprint” are similar and look almost identically blue. The position of the star sculptures in the installation roughly correlates to their position in the night sky. @SFAC#PublicArt#SpencerFinchThis tweet was posted on June 30, 2023.
Finch affixes colored filters on LED light tubes to represent the spectral color emission of each star. For example, Betelgeuse is a very old star and appears red in the night sky. @SFAC#PublicArt#SpencerFinch#Scuplture#LEDThis tweet was posted on June 30, 2023.
“Orion“ by Spencer Finch is inspired by the seven major stars of Orion, one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky. Orion is comprised of the stars Alnilam, Alnitak, Bellatrix, Betelgeuse, Mintaka, Rigel, and Saiph. @SFAC#PublicArt#SpencerFinch#Scuplture#LEDThis tweet was posted on June 30, 2023.
