Solar Eclipse from Easter Island
Easter Island, along with other small remote Pacific islands, has always fascinated me. Check out chapters on the demise of population on these islands in Jared Diamond's Collapse. I would definitely love to visit it some day. In the mean time, here is a spectacular photograph of the Solar eclipse from Easter Island from this past July 11th (from APOD):

Nice post Salman. My two fascinations (Moais and the Totality) in one picture. Great
ReplyDeleteI maintain that humans, by their nature as “definers”, see in their “observations” data which matches our model of God. When exploring this notion, I created a graphic so I could better explain the concept. The resulting graphic led me to pose the question: “Which God shall I worship, the God I created or the God that created me?” I work to be honest to my own principles. I invite and challenge everyone reading this blog to pose that question to them. To better understand the challenge before you see <a href="http://leewimberly.home.comcast.net/~leewimberly//index.html>“Exploring the Gap between Science and Religion”.</a>
