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):
and here are two bonus pictures of the island:

Nice post Salman. My two fascinations (Moais and the Totality) in one picture. Great
I 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>
