In 2009 The Van Horn Advocate announced that the Long Now Foundation was starting geologic testing for an underground space to house a 10,000 Year Clock of the Long Now, on the Bezos ranch, north of Van Horn.
This clock became the Clock of the Long Now, a name invented by the songwriter and composer, Brian Eno.
