The Climber and the Eclipse


What should you do if your rock climbing picture is photobombed by a total eclipse of the Sun? Rejoice -- because your planning paid off. After months of considering different venues, and a week of scouting different locations in Oregon's Smith Rock State Park, a group of photographers and rock climbers led by Ted Hesser, Martina Tibell, and Michael Shainblum settled on picturesque 100-meter tall Monkey Face tower as the dramatic foreground for their images of the pending total solar eclipse. Tension mounted as the eclipse time approached, planned juxtapositions were scrutinized, and the placement of rock climber Tommy Smith was adjusted. Right on schedule, though, the Moon moved in front of the Sun, and Smith moved in front of the Moon, just as planned. The solar eclipse image displayed here actually shows a diamond ring, an eclipse phase when a bit of the distant Sun is still visible beyond the Moon's surface.

Pesquisadores de OVNIs capturam imagens da Área 51

Um novo vídeo, publicado no YouTube, mostra com imagens nunca antes vistas da base secreta dos EUA.

Tim Doyle e Tracey Sue, entusiastas de OVNIs, se aventuraram no deserto de Nevada para ver se eles poderiam ter um vislumbre da base mais secreta do mundo.

Para que isso fosse possível, eles dirigiram por milhares de quilômetros em um esforço para encontrar um bom ponto de vista a partir do qual pudessem ver as instalações com suas câmeras.

Eles, então, encontraram o topo de uma montanha, que fica aproximadamente 42 quilômetros da base, conhecida como Tikaboo Peak. Ainda assim era tão longe que as fotos foram feitas com lente de telefoto.

O vídeo da viagem, bem como a filmagem em que registraram da base, pode ser visualizado abaixo.
