See the Related Link below for a picture of a portion of the ceiling. It's an astrological mural. It has a blue-green background, with gold drawings/paintings of some of the zodiac symbols. It "portrays the Mediterranean sky with October-to-March zodiac and 2,500 stars."

It's also painted "backwards," in a mirror image of what you would see if you were looking up at the night sky. It was actually deliberately done that way. There was a time when painters and cartographers drew astrological maps from the point of view of someone looking down from the heavens, not up at them. The painter, Paul Helleu, did the mural that way in reference to this old practice.

I'm writing a thriller action adventure book and is there a way to drive a decent size tank into grand central station's famous interior part?

No, but you could drive something like a Panhard or Stryker wheeled fighting vehicle in. I would choose a Lenco Peacekeeper, mainly because the NYPD SWAT team has some and your character could just steal it out of a police motor pool. You'd have to drive a tank up from Fort Dix, which is 60 miles away, then navigate through the streets of Manhattan to get it to Grand Central Station.

How do you get from stamford to grand central station?

Buy a ticket at Grand Central Station to Stamford. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, all trains on the New Haven line (which runs from Grand Central to New Haven, CT) will stop in Stamford, since it's a major stop. Some trains on the New Haven line will stop at smaller stations in Westchester County before reaching Stamford, and others are express, with Stamford being the first stop. Last time I made the trip, it cost about $10 one way, off peak. Peak travel times (like rush hour) will add a couple dollars to the fare, as will buying the ticket on the train as opposed to buying it before you board. The base ticket price is probably more now, since it's been a few years since I made the trip.
