Artist James Turrell acquired the 400,000-year-old,  3-mile-wide (4.8 km) crater's land for a land art project.
Turrell has since been transforming the inner cone of the crater into a massive naked-eye observatory, designed specifically for viewing and experiencing  sky-light, solar, and celestial phenomena.
The fleeting winter and summer solstice events will be highlighted.
Kanye West filmed his 2019 movie Jesus Is King at Roden Crater and praised Turrell as one of the greatest living artists.
