STRANGE DIP: "The last night of 2008 was exceptionally clear here in southwestern Turkey, thanks to cold and strong northerly winds," says Tunç Tezel of Kumluova, Fethiye. "I watched the Moon and Venus take a strange dip into the Mediterranean. They were heavily distorted by air layers above the sea."
"Venus became double, and the Moon looked even more strange," he says. "After the bright crescent finally went down, Earthshine remained for more than another minute. I lost sight of the faint glow before it actually disappeared, but my camera (a Canon 5D) caught the Earthshine sinking beneath the waves."
I found this on geology.com this morning. I haven't checked this website for awhile just because I've been so busy with other stuff over the past few weeks. I checked it this morning due to the earthquake swarm that has been going on in Yellowstone National Park this week, looking for more information. I've posted before about the seismic possibilities in Yellowstone and how interesting I find it all. Something interesting is happening in the Yellowstone area, scientists are just not sure yet what it is.
As I scrolled down through the blurbs of recent news articles, web sites and scientific/geologic blog posts, this article caught my eye immediately because it contained video (I love pictures and if they actually move, all the better - I'm just a child at heart. :) ha ha)
Sometimes I think man is so arrogant. We think we know everything. We think we have all the answers. Yet, even scripture tells us to consider the ant.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. and "Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; coneys are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags; locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings' palaces. Proverbs 6:6-11;30:24-28
