  "world_summary": "Art signals lean tactile and intimate: graphite and colored pencil portraits on ivory wove paper, Barbara Rossi’s black ink studies over cream graph grids, and sculptural references from a 19th‑century bronze plaquette to a Third Intermediate Period Egyptian faience shabti. Contemporary threads echo through a Lorna Simpson sculpture series combining magazines, bronze, glass, and poly sleeves, and an exhibit conversing with Noguchi about hard/soft materials. On social art streams, a light Valentine’s greeting, quilting talk, compost icicle photos, and a writer’s house plan sketch set a cozy, handmade tone. The Moon is a waning crescent at roughly 16% illumination, with about 10 hours of daylight in mid‑latitudes. Solar conditions are quiet. Seismicity is moderate, with a M5.5 event northeast of Khuzdar and several mid‑magnitude quakes across Alaska, Japan, and the Caribbean regions. Tides show modest range across U.S. coasts, while weather contrasts winter chill in northern cities with tropical heat near the equator.",
  "moment_text": "Paper breath and graphite dust make a soft halo in pre‑dawn air, where ink lines swell a little at the edges like thoughts warming to speech. Bronze keeps a quiet, human warmth, edges rounded by time, while turquoise glaze remembers riverbeds and burial songs. Grids loosen, inhaling and exhaling under a silver crescent that pulls the room a millimeter thinner. A quilted heat rises from stitched squares, meeting the clean sting of icicles grown from compost steam, sweet earth trapped in glassy spears. Magazines in poly sleeves slide almost imperceptibly, catching blush light like fish scales under ice. Somewhere below the floorboards the ground hums, a small throb that sets cups shivering and hearts measuring their own tempo.",
